An Evening in Schoenbrunn Palace - Palace Tour, Dinner & Concert

What your day looks like

Our Schoenbrunn Palace Concerts have been an integral part of the Viennese world of music and culture since 1997. At the historic Orangery of Schoenbrunn Palace, the Schoenbrunn Palace Orchestra and the Schoenbrunn Palace Ensemble alternate to perform the most beautiful pieces of music ever written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Johann Strauss. The concert takes place at a location that played an important role throughout Mozart's career: the elaborately restored Schoenbrunn Palace Orangery. It was frequently used as the perfect location for sumptuous festivities during the reign of the Habsburgs. We have decided to keep this tradition alive. The musical performance of the renowned Schoenbrunn Palace Orchestra Vienna, accompanied by vocalists, captivates the audience each and every evening. The first part of the concert features selected overtures, arias, and duets by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart such as “The Marriage of Figaro,” “The Magic Flute” and “Don Giovanni”. After the intermission, let the orchestra delight you with the most memorable operetta arias, waltzes, and polkas by Johann Strauss, the “king of waltz,” including “The Bat,” “The Gipsy King,” the “Blue Danube Waltz” and the “Radetzky March.” Two opera singers, a soprano and a baritone will round out the evening. The Baroque Schoenbrunn Palace Orangery provides an extraordinary setting for events that feature classical music. It was frequently used as the perfect location for sumptuous festivities with musical performances back in the times of the Habsburg dynasty. The musical duel between Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri took place during one of these concerts. It was to remain a unique incident in the history of music. On selected days, concerts may take place in the Great Gallery or the White Gold Room located inside Schoenbrunn Palace or in other concert halls in Vienna. We will be happy to send you the detailed concert plan upon request! Empress Maria Theresa appreciated the unique atmosphere of Schoenbrunn Palace and made it her summer residence.
