CoupleVerified bookingLast week4/5Fantastic musical performance, the compositions were exquisite. The church was spectacular and impressive. Made for an unforgettable evening. Our only negative was that the seating in the pews was uncomfortable, but you have to take that into account for sitting in a cathedral setting. A performance that shouldn't be missed if visiting Vienna.SSandra M
SoloVerified booking3 days ago5/5The setting for this performance, the Karlskirche, was visually stunning, and the performance of the musicians was fabulous - I actually found it very moving, and the time went very quickly. If you love Vivaldi's Four Seasons, then you will love this performance - highly recommended!DDipl.päd. Anneliese P
GroupVerified booking4 days ago5/5The musicians were unique—however, in front of us sat women who constantly stood up and sat back down, in constant motion, almost like windshield wipers. However, they made sure that cell phones were not used.TTrbic B
GroupVerified booking2 weeks ago4/5I'm giving four stars because it wasn't unforgettable! The orchestra was almost too small for the size of the building. Maybe because we were sitting all the way in the back... No regrets, but it doesn't beat a concert in a dedicated concert hall.CClaudia S
FamilyVerified bookingYesterday4/5It was a great concert. The acoustics in the church are unique. Unfortunately, we had seats on the side and could only see two members of the orchestra. Next time, I would choose a more expensive ticket category.
