The Light Show of Creation in Vienna was one of the most unexpectedly moving experiences I've had in a long time. It takes place inside a church, and the way they use the space is absolutely breathtaking. Light projections cover every surface – from the high ceilings to the altar – creating a visual story of the world’s creation, step by step. Highly recommend it if you're in Vienna. You’ll leave with a quiet sense of awe.

I loved the show, really an incredible experience in every way, the lights of course, but also the church itself is a beauty and they make the most of that environment for a beautiful show. I would have liked perhaps a more cheerful music, but it is still very good. The ticket purchase was very fast, although until I got there I didn't see which seat I had been assigned.

Simply everything!!! The organizer of the event can't be held responsible for the weather and the heat on the day. I don't have any photos, so I can't add anything. But I can put it into words: My favorite moment was when a white bird (possibly a pigeon) flew in and perched on the edge of the pillar. Not everyone noticed, but I was just mesmerized.

    ...the location...the light show was good, but slightly playful, music in need of improvement, we had imagined everything to be a bit more abstract, more spacey...but definitely worth seeing!

    The combination of light and architecture was particularly impressive. I also really liked the way the images flowed into each other. There should be more performances like this. Only the price was a bit too high for a 30-minute performance.
