Schönbrunn Palace Mozart and Strauss Concert

About this experience

Book Schönbrunn Palace Mozart and Strauss concert tickets for an evening of Vienna's two favourite composers in the palace where Mozart performed as a child. The Schönbrunn Palace Orchestra, joined by a soprano and a baritone, plays in the Orangery, a long Baroque hall that the imperial court once used for banquets and celebrations. The first half focuses on Mozart, with overtures, arias and duets from The Magic Flute and The Marriage of Figaro, and the second half turns to Johann Strauss, with waltzes and polkas such as The Blue Danube. The concert lasts about 1 hour 45 minutes, including an interval, and runs on most evenings through the year. What is the concert like? This is one of the best known concert series in Vienna, and it is designed to be easy to enjoy whether you are a regular concertgoer or new to classical music. The orchestra plays well loved pieces rather than rare works, and the singers bring the opera scenes to life with plenty of character. The Orangery has a warm, lively sound, and its decorated walls and chandeliers make the setting feel special. During the interval you can visit the bar or, in the warmer months, step into the Orangery garden for some fresh air. Where is the concert? The Orangery is at Schönbrunn Palace, Schönbrunner Schloßstraße 47, 1130 Vienna, to the left of the main palace entrance as you face the palace. Schönbrunn station (U4) is a short walk from the gates, and trams and buses stop nearby; allow about 20 to 25 minutes by U-Bahn from the city centre. On some dates the concert is held in another hall within the palace, such as the Great Gallery, the White and Gold Room or the palace theatre, so check your voucher. The concert usually starts at 20:30. Seating categories and what the ticket includes Your ticket includes entry to the concert with free choice of seats within your category.
