Palais Auersperg Imperial Gala Concert

About this experience

Book Palais Auersperg Imperial Gala Concert tickets for a classic Viennese evening in a Baroque palace just outside the Ring. Soloists of the Vienna Mozart Orchestra play music by Mozart, Johann Strauss, Vivaldi and other favourites, and the programme goes beyond instrumental pieces, with opera and operetta singing and ballet dancers bringing the waltz to life. The concert starts at 20:00 and ends at about 21:45, with a 25 minute interval after the first half. Some ticket options also add dinner in the palace before the concert, turning the gala into a full evening out. What is the Imperial Gala Concert? The gala is a celebration of the music that shaped Vienna's concert and ballroom tradition. Expect well known pieces such as Mozart arias and overtures, Strauss waltzes and polkas, and bright Baroque works by Vivaldi, performed by a small orchestra of experienced musicians. Singers perform opera and operetta favourites, and dancers join for waltz scenes, so there is always something to watch as well as hear. Palais Auersperg has a long history of music and balls, and hearing the Viennese waltz in its elegant halls is a big part of the appeal. Which ticket should you choose? Tickets are sold by seating category, from Category B through Category A and Category S to VIP, with seats reserved within the category you book. Higher categories sit closer to the stage. Concert only options last about 90 minutes of music plus the interval. Concert and dinner options add a meal in the palace before the concert, and the evening then lasts about three hours. Dinner is only included when the option name says so; a higher seating category on its own does not add a meal. If you have vegan, gluten free, lactose free or allergy needs, share them when booking a dinner option. Where is Palais Auersperg and when should you arrive? Palais Auersperg is at Auerspergstraße 1, 1080 Vienna, close to the Volkstheater and a short walk from the Ring. Volkstheater station (U2, U3) is about five minutes on foot, tram 46 stops almost opposite, and buses 13A and 48A stop nearby. For concert only tickets, arrive by 19:30. For dinner options, the palace opens at 18:00; arrive by 18:15, as dinner is served from 18:30 to 19:45 and the concert hall opens at 19:45. Coats, bags and backpacks must go to the cloakroom, where a small fee applies. Late arrivals are only admitted at suitable moments, such as during applause. Good to know before you book Smart or elegant clothing suits the setting. Children under five are not admitted. The palace is a listed historic building with no lift, and the concert hall on the first floor is reached by a grand staircase, so it is not wheelchair accessible. Fresh rolls are available before, during and after the concert. If you want a shorter or more intimate evening, compare the Amadeus concert at the Künstlerhaus, the concert at Palais Eschenbach or the Strauss concert with dinner.
