The Votive Church is a very handsome and fantastic church. Superbly restored and looks brand new. Very colorful, which makes "Light of Creation" feel extremely impressive. I was completely blown away. You get a tremendous amount here for the price of admission. It is definitely worth visiting. It is best to sit in the back area of the nave so you have the laser show in all its glory right in your field of view.

The interplay between light and music was exceptionally beautiful and unique. One moment, the ceilings seemed to disappear through the light projections, making you feel as though you were beneath the surface of the sea. The next, the architectural elements of the church were enhanced by the light projections, allowing the church to reveal its full glory. Simply breathtakingly done.

Great backdrop and a varied laser show. What really bothered me, though: strangely enough, taking photos and filming were PERMITTED. That meant people all around us filmed half the show, and all the smartphone lights in the audience and the waving around of cell phones bothered me immensely.

The organization and processing of the purchased tickets went smoothly. I would prefer booking the seats directly. The event was impressive and very beautiful. The live experience makes it so much better than watching recordings online. Absolutely recommended.

A spectacular symphony of light, sound, and architecture

Step into the iconic Votivkirche in Vienna for a musical journey through the creation of the universe with the "Light of Creation". This 30-minute immersive show opens with the birth of light and takes you through six distinctive acts, illustrating the emergence of land, water, and life. Experience the blend of historic architecture and cutting-edge projection technology as it transforms the church’s interior into a breathtaking canvas of light, color, and sound. Accompanying this visual spectacle is a specially composed musical score that provides a unique auditory experience, varying from gentle sounds depicting the Big Bang to powerful, solemn moments that amplify the intensity of the show.

Category I seats provide an unobstructed view of the stage, while Category II seats offer a slightly restricted view. Regardless of the seating category, guests are guaranteed to be captivated by the symbiosis of modern technology and historical architecture and to leave with a profound appreciation of the universe's creation as told through the medium of light, color, and sound.
