Neighbourhood: Inner City
In Vienna's best-known district, pedestrian boulevards Kärntner Strasse and Graben connect you with landmarks such as the Wiener Staatsoper (Vienna State Opera), Vienna’s iconic Stephansdom (St. Stephen’s Cathedral) and the vast compound of Hofburg, the Habsburgs’ former Imperial Palace. Peek down side streets such as Annagasse and Weihburggasse, and Graben’s Seilergasse and Habsburggasse, to get a feel for the centre. The Imperial Apartments and the refreshingly demystifying Sissi Museum are must-dos at Hofburg. Spacious squares such as Am Hof and Freyung often host beautiful seasonal and antiques markets.

Wonderful
Oct 2023 • Solo
I was fortunate to be able to attend a recital here while in Vienna, and it was amazing. It was a small music ensemble, along with ballet dancers and opera singers, such an enjoyable performance, and in a small enough space that everyone could see well. The beautiful building made the experience all the more perfect.

Wiener Residenz Orchester concert.
Sep 2023 • Family
Enjoyed some great music played by fantastic musicians. A wonderful venue for hearing some Mozart and Strauss. The first violinist was the leader of the ensemble, and she was virtuosic in her performance. Have seldom heard such music here in the USA. Some excellent vocal performers as well.

Enjoyable evening with some good music

Palais Auersperg

The location of this venue is excellent, showcasing the beautiful baroque architecture from the 1700s. During my trip, I noticed numerous people dressed as Mozart trying to sell tickets to the Wiener Residenzorchester Konzert. While such encounters usually irritate me, these individuals approached us with kindness and no intrusion. Curiosity piqued, we decided to attend the concert.

The performance featured a mix of Mozart, Strauss, and Vivaldi, combining elements of a concert, ballet, and opera, all catered to tourists. The ensemble, consisting of a piano, flute, three violins, a viola, and a contrabass, might not have been a fully-fledged orchestra, but it allowed for more affordable ticket prices compared to traditional opera, concert, or ballet performances in Vienna.

As a first-time experience, I was thoroughly satisfied with the event, especially since the musicians and dancers injected humor into the performance, adding a fun twist to the original context.

However, there were a couple of downsides. The person who sold us the tickets didn't mention any specific dress code and assured us that our casual outfits were perfectly acceptable. While the staff didn't object, we did receive some disapproving looks from other guests. Additionally, the seating consisted of "moveable" chairs rather than proper theater seats, which was a minor inconvenience.

Despite these minor drawbacks, I highly recommend obtaining tickets, visiting the venue (which you can do in just 15 minutes before the start of the concert), and savoring the unique experience!

Mozart and Strauss music in Vienna
May 2023
Excellent music but chairs very uncomfortable. Very wet evening so really crushed getting indoors where concert venue was really overcrowded. All in all a pleasant evening.

Worth a visit
Nov 2022 • Friends
A great night of music, dancing and singing.

No photography or videography during the performance - although this was not policed well so we had the front row guests’ phones in our faces for some of the night.

We paid for the VIP seats and would say it was worth it EXCEPT…
Our tickets clearly showed that we had a drink included (which it wasn’t - and it was quite pricey!) as well as a programme (again which wasn’t)

All in all a good experience in a beautiful location - just incorrectly sold!

Chamber music performance in a nice setting
Jun 2022 • Couples
Attended an evening performance of light music. The ensemble was very good and played popular pieces. Performance lasted one hour with snippets of opera and waltz. The Palais is well decorated with statues and old style staircases. The room itself was big enough with chairs for the performance and is probably used for other events.

Nice evening in Vienna.

Historic place
Feb 2021 • Couples
Quite central and just a short walk from the rathaus is this palace which was closed due to covid but was built in 1706 to 1710 for hieronymus capece and designed by Erlach and Hildebrant. It is used as a venue for balls and events like concerts is a bit run down and is right on a quite busy street.

Fantastic evening of Mozart and Strauss
Nov 2019
A small ensemble of violins, double bass, cello, flute and piano made an incredibly wonderful sound. The played together so well and beautifully - the cellist particularly took our eye as he was obviously so rapt with the music, he was a delight to watch. The lead violinist was excellent and clearly 'knew his stuff'.
The opera, although is not my thing was very good - well performed and very amusing in places. The ballet was lovely and given the cramped conditions was very well done.
The seats weren't too uncomfortable, the loos down stairs were clean, the staff were all very very helpful and we really enjoyed our evening.
My biggest problem was the very large and beautiful staircase up to the room which quite took my breath away (literally) and there were no seats at the top on which to recover.
Apart from that everything was very well organised and, of course, the building itself is beautiful.

The Ultimate Mozart/Strauss Experience
Sep 2019 • Couples
Nothing can compare to a Mozart/Strauss concert with the house musicians in a 1706 house that Mozart visited when he was 6 years old...
The history & ambiance adds to the occasion. The musicians & singers “feel” the music.
A must stop for music lovers when in Vienna.
