We're from Malaysia. 🇲🇾 An Unforgettable Night of Music in Vienna! What a beautiful way to experience Vienna! ❤️ Attending the Schönbrunn Palace Orchestra was definitely one of the highlights of our Austrian holiday. From the moment the music began, we were captivated by the wonderful performances of Mozart and Strauss. The musicians were incredibly talented, and the combination of beautiful classical music, elegant surroundings and a touch of Viennese charm made the evening truly special. Even if you’re not a classical music enthusiast, this is an experience worth having. The music was lively, engaging and beautifully performed. We found ourselves smiling throughout the evening! After days of sightseeing and endless walking, sitting back and enjoying such a wonderful performance was exactly what we needed. A truly memorable evening and a beautiful taste of Vienna’s rich musical heritage. Highly recommended to anyone visiting this magnificent city!

Event was moved from Orangery to the Main palace and some ushers sent us to the wrong direction, so we had to walk a lot back and forth. The concert itself was very nice. We loved the conductor and the soloists

The program was a great success; the conductor, the concertmaster, the soprano, the baritone, and the entire orchestra were all excellent. The Orangerie is a particularly well-suited venue for concerts.

The concert was the best decision. The venue—the Große Galerie—was spectacular. The program was beautifully curated, and the musicians and conductor were fantastic; they really engaged the audience. I would definitely do it again—please with the same performers and program.

Last week
The entrance to the event was not well indicated. The sight lines are terrible but the venue is pretty. What bothered me the most was that there was no specific program, no mention of specific pieces played or sung, not even who sang. I understand that a program book was for sale, but spending 58euros per ticket should at least merit a paper program or even an emailed one with the pieces of music played, singers, conductor, etc This tells me that it is meant to be a tourist event where they just throw some Mozart and Strauss out and come llevo as much money as possible. As a music lover, I would not recommend this unless you just want to spend 58 to a 100 euros to sit in a pretty room and hear generic tunes.

A wonderful prelude with Mozart’s masterpieces

A wonderful treat for classical music fans who will forever cherish the concert's first half with some of the enchanting overtures, arias, and duets from the operas of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Mozart once delivered an unforgettable performance playing the harpsichord under this same roof and on the same stage. This fact makes the concert all the more compelling, fascinating, and emotionally stirring.

The magic of Johann Strauss, 'The Waltz King'

The second half of the concert is dedicated to the compositions of the 'Waltz King', Johann Strauss. He is said to have composed over 500 waltzes. Listen to the most brilliant of these operetta arias, waltzes, and polkas.

An exceptional ending!

After enjoying the compositions of these geniuses, let the power of two opera singers entice you with their songs. Feel a wave of emotions as you watch the brilliant performances of a soprano and a baritone. Book your Mozart & Strauss Concert Schönbrunn Palace tickets for an experience of a lifetime!

What to bring

Bring your voucher or digital ticket along with a valid photo ID to the Orangery entrance, as ticket collection is mandatory and strictly checked.

Pack a light jacket or shawl, as the indoor venue can feel cool even during summer evenings.

Have a printed or digital copy of the concert program or brochure, especially if you are a VIP guest, since VIP packages often include a personalized booklet that adds to the experience.

Carry a small amount of cash if you are not a VIP ticket holder, as the cloakroom fee for non-VIP guests is €1.

Accessibility

The Orangery of Schönbrunn Palace offers full wheelchair accessibility, including ramps, barrier-free facilities, and accessible toilets.

During the intermission, guests are welcome to visit the bar for refreshments or stroll through the Orangery Garden when it is open during the warmer months.

Parking is available directly in front of the Orangery until midnight for an additional fee.

Cloakroom service is free for VIP ticket holders; all other guests need to pay a €1 fee.
