Schoenbrunn Palace Concerts

Since the establishment of the Schoenbrunn Palace Concerts, the daily performances of the Schoenbrunn Palace Orchestra play an essential role in Vienna's cultural and musical life. At the Orangery Schoenbrunn, a place rich in tradition, the Schoenbrunn Palace Orchestra and the Schoenbrunn Palace Ensemble perform the most beautiful tunes of the classic composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart an...d Johann Strauss.

The concert:
The duration of the Schoenbrunn Palace Concerts is 1 hour and 45 minutes., including a break of 15 minutes. In the first part of the classical concert you will listen to some of the wonderful overtures, arias and duets from the operas from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. For example “Le nozze di Figaro”, “Don Giovanni” or “the Magic Flute”. The second part is ded...icated to Johann Strauss. Waltzes, polkas and arias from “the Bat”, “the Gipsy Baron” or the “Blue Danube Waltz” are just a few examples.

The venue:
Schoenbrunn Palace does not need an introduction. Listed on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List, the palace with its park, fountains and the zoo is unique in the world.
The Schoenbrunn Palace Concerts usually take place in the “Orangery”, a side building of the palace and in the “Great Gallery“, located in the main building. Both concert halls are quite long, so it is advisable to get seats in the front, even if it means to spend a little more.

Seating:
Like most of the historical concert locations in Vienna, there are no numbered seats in Schoenbrunn Palace. You can choose your seats within the category. If the concert is fully booked, you will be seated by the evening personnel to avoid empty seats. If you booked your tickets together you will be seated together. The evening box opens 30 minutes before the concert starts. We advise to be on time.

Dresscode:
There is no special dresscode.
