    A wonderful musical performance held at this historic building. We bought the tickets from the sellers in Stephansplatz in the same morning for €34pp. The concert lasted for around 55 minutes excluding the break and including two encore songs. It was a great performance overall, worth attending. The performance was delivered by 6 musicians, one tenor and one soprano. Leaving your coat down at reception is mandatory and each piece is charged €1.

    Definitely worth a visit. If you want to have a small taste of the “opera” feeling you should book a ticket to go. Value for money!

    This palace has a small room for musical concert, the quality is really good. The downside is the way they advertise this thing out on the street

    I went her for a classical concert held in one of the rokms. ABSOLUTELY EXQUISITE. The accoustics are fantastic and the music programme a veritable accoustic banquet. GO AND BE ENTERTAINED.. ITS WORTH EVERY EURO.

    Great concert, good acoustics, good musicians, particularly the lead violinist. If you can't get front row seats go for the cheapest seats. Small venue only 100 seats so you are close to the orchestra. We were given a 20% discount on published ticket price.

    We had a bad experience here. We booked tickets. We showed up for the show. No one was there other than one other family. We brought tickets for a show that was not scheduled. They did give us a refund. It was annoying as we planned our day around this. We didn't let it ruin the holiday. Really make sure you are booking a show that is scheduled.

    One of must do in Austria, Vienna is going to Orchestra. There are many to choose from and we purchased Konzeret Concerts. Amazing performance! We strongly suggest them. Cheers

  • 4/5 Hugo S. 2 years ago on Google
    Went there for concert. Only visit the stair way and the large concert room where we attended the venue. All and all is an old building worst seeing. The concert was something else. Divine

  • 1/5 Estefania F. 2 years ago on Google
    Deeply disappointed!!!!!!!! Sad, bad, disgusting, terrible, i don't know how else to express this disaster!!! They sold us tickets for an ORCHESTRA and there were only 4 musicians. We tried to explain before the concert that this was not what we bought but they said we would have to wait untill the end to talk, and then they told us they could not give us a refund because we said the musicians played well (yes, fine, i was being polite and could not say the 4 musicians were bad, but this is not what we paid for!!!!). We paid 80€ for two tickets and they gave us one extra for free (that we didn't use), and the person who talked to us said we ONLY PAID THAT so we couldn't complain. They also insisted we should have asked if the orchestra (about 12 musicians) that appeared on the papers they gave us when selling the tickets was actually going to play, because it was our fault that we didn't ask if the show was as it was shown on the picture. THAT'S LYING BY OMISSION, DEAR. I've never thought i would be this disappointed when coming to Vienna because of the fraud and the extremely pathetic customer service. To solve the problem, the girl offered us a bottle of water and a cd (that i can't even hear because i don't own any device that allows cds anymore) and that was it for her. Actually i left to my airbnb TO CRY because this ruined my music experience in Austria. Thank you very much.

    This was a pleasant surprise. While out walking around St Stephens square, we were able to get discounted same day tickets. 2 for 1 in Section A. It was a great concert - 1+ hours of Mozart, Strauss, Vivaldi and more. Orchestra and opera all in one. Really an excellent evening.

    Palace is very intersting to visit, unfortunately we did not have long time to visit the gardens, we just browsed quickly. I liked ticketing system by different time slots, it avoids long ques

    It was a teribble experience. The people were awfully rude, they demanded to take all of our personal stuff without any protection guaranteed. The musicians came after the time of the supposed starting time. The decoration looks fake and it's just rediculusly expensive. I wouldnt recommend it to anyone!

    Booked it on the streets while waiting to enter the opera. It was nice, 8 musicians involved. But even after leaving, I just wished I went to the Staatsoper and watched something there..

  • 5/5 Tracey S. 5 months ago on Google
    Fun evening of music in Vienna! Mozart, Strauss, opera singers and more. It was the perfect mix of classical favorites. Upbeat and enjoyable.

  • 5/5 Michael C. 8 months ago on Google
    The concert room is air conditioned. The musicians are excellent. Very tight performance as they must practice together all the time to achieve this level of precision.

  • 5/5 Fernanda Mota M. 1 year ago on Google
    We bought the VIP tickets and it was in the first row in front of the performers. It was a memorable experience! I definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Eleftherios N. 8 months ago on Google
    An excellent performance from all. Orchestral music and opera. A little bit of theatrical performance from the plyers and vocalists. I enjoyed it very much. I got the ticket from the street the previous day and at a good price.

    A great place to hear (and listen to) some highlights of Viennese classical and opera music.

  • 5/5 Ruben F. 2 years ago on Google
    In Vienna you can't miss a classical music and opera concert, I recommend this place, the artists give a first class concert, which make you move to that time.

  • 3/5 Rounak S. 1 year ago on Google
    The concert is definitely not up to the mark. We had seen a concert in Salsburg Fortress which was much better and engaging than this one.

  • 5/5 Medi V. 1 year ago on Google • 30 reviews
    Fantastic musical performance, very well played. Staff isn’t the friendliest. You have to leave your coat at the reception where you can only pay by cash. Refreshments are extra and if paying by card, there is a minimum charge of €10, paying by cash is a lot cheaper. VIP tickets get you in first and second row and it’s worth the price. No recording during performance. Despite everything, if you want a memorable, uplifting, fun experience then this is the one to go to.

  • 5/5 Nona V. 1 year ago on Google
    Most wonderful live orchestra! Everyone was great, the opera and lusic were so nice and the accoustic was amazing in the small room. There is a small intermezzo so you can drink something (no food). We did a lot of live music concerts and this one was wonderful!

    We enjoyed a concert of Vivaldi Mozart Strauss. Small room that was beautiful. Didn't see much else.

  • 5/5 Marcus C. 1 year ago on Google
    Concert is a gimmick overall, but still entertaining. They do seem to try and it is an easy way to experience classical music in a place where the sounds are familar

  • 5/5 רונית �. 1 year ago on Google
    We purchased tickets for the concert at the Schönbrunn Palace, not at the opera house. It was nothing short of amazing, a combination of several composers, Mozart, Schubert, Strauss, and a surprise performance by 2 opera singers who gave a stunning section of Carmen's Biza and more

  • 5/5 Laura D. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the most memorable nights of the 6- night trip we made across Austria and Germany was the evening I sat in the old concert hall of the Palais Schönborn, with tears streaming down my cheeks as I listened to the chamber orchestra play Vivaldi and Mozart. Truly, there is nothing like hearing live music. In a time when we often readily pay for bread and circuses, it's easy to forget how precious the opportunities for strudel and string quartets are! So if you find yourself in Vienna at the Cathedral of St Stephen, and a man in 18C garb approaches you to ask if you would like to go to a chamber orchestra concert... get the tickets and go! Bring a handkerchief and prepare for an evening of poetic beauty.

  • 5/5 Helena K. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) If you go to Vienna you have to go to the Palace, many paintings, sculptures, period furniture and the wonderful garden. It is close to the historic city center, buy the ticket on time without any problems, you can do everything on foot. (Original) Se for a Viena vc tem que ir ao Palácio, muitas pinturas , esculturas , móveis de época e o jardim maravilhoso . Fica próximo ao centro histórico da cidade, compre o ingresso na hora sem problemas , dá para fazer tudo a pé.

    (Translated by Google) Definitely a must if you are going to Vienna. Away from the city center about 6 km, is this beautiful palace, with beautiful views towards it going up to the gardens. In both summer and winter it is worth going up to the top to take your picture with the palace and the historic center of Vienna in the background (Original) Sin duda , visita obligada si se va a Viena. Alejado del centro de la ciudad unos 6 km , se encuentra este precioso palacio , con unas vistas preciosas hacia él subiendo a los jardines. Tanto en verano como en invierno merece la pena subir hasta arriba del todo para sacarse la foto con el palacio y con el centro histórico de Viena al fondo

    What a great time! My friend and I were in town for a class trip, but made sure to catch a show. The music was excellent and the venue was intimate.

Angela took time to give us pointers for places to visit around town which was above and beyond.

    (Translated by Google) We arrived at the venue to enjoy a concert experience in Vienna (€ 54 per person). We received two violin players, one cello, one piano contrabass and violin player (the maestro), plus two male and female singers. The program included two pieces featuring classic works by Mozart, Vivaldi, and other familiar works with a short break in the middle. Overall (and I understand very little on the subject) the performance of the musicians was good and accurate to my liking. I also enjoyed hearing the singer, the singer a little less. What was most noticeable was the location. Very far from the way the site is displayed. Large but very crowded room. The seats are standard chairs with no differences in height, so the lungs are already damaged. The place looks very neglected and very damaging to the atmosphere of an experience that is supposed to be prestigious. This is why the score is so low. Hope to change in the future. Offers to avoid this option and pre-order in one of the most familiar places even if more expensive. Like the Opera House or Schneeburn Palace etc. (Original) הגענו למקום להנות מחווית קונצרט בוינה (54€ לאדם) . קיבלנו שני נגני כינור, אחד צ׳לו, אחד קונטרהבס פסנתר ונגנית כינור (המאסטרו) ובנוסף שני זמרים גבר ואישה. התוכנית כללה שני חלקים בהם יצירות קלאסיות של מוצרט, וויואלדי, ועוד יצירות מוכרות עם הפסקה קצרה באמצע. סה"כ (ואני מבין קטן מאוד בנושא) הביצועים של הנגנים היו טובים ומדוייקים לטעמי. נהניתי גם לשמוע את הזמר, את הזמרת מעט פחות. מה שהיה הכי בולט לרעה היה המקום. רחוק מאוד מהאופן שמוצג באתר. חדר גדול אך צפוף מאוד. המושבים הם כסאות רגילים ללא הבדלי גובה, כך שכבר מהשורה השניה ואילך הריאות נפגמת. המקום נראה מוזנח מאוד ופוגם מאוד באווירה של חוויה שאמורה להיות יוקרתית. זאת הסיבה למתן ציון כ"כ נמוך. מקווה שישתנה בעתיד. מציע להימנע מהאופציה הזאת ולהזמין מראש באחד המקומות היותר מוכרים גם אם יותר יקר. כמו בית האופרה או ארמון שנבורן וכו'

    (Translated by Google) Hofburg Imperial caught in the Royal Palace Atari to the people of cheerful catch, I have great pains to buy with ticket in thoughts of want to ... try to listen to music because those who came to Vienna. Because it is not a concert of your hard atmosphere, I think that there is no problem at all be carried out in jeans to T-shirts. In fact, when himself I would like to ask the front two rows were Korean tourists of rough feeling. Music to be played, at a time many well-known songs, such as may be heard, so went on while occasionally pinching the laughter element, I think that it was content to enjoy a wide range of people. (Original) ホーフブルク王宮辺りで陽気なキャッチの人に捕まり、せっかくウィーンまで来たものだから音楽を聴いてみたい…との思いでついチケットを購入してしまいました。 お堅い雰囲気の演奏会ではないので、Tシャツにジーパンで行っても全く問題ないと思います。実際、自身がお伺いした時は前方2列がラフな感じの韓国人ツアー客でした。 演奏される楽曲は、一度は耳にしたことがあるような有名曲が多く、時折笑い要素を挟みながら進んでいったので、幅広い人々に楽しめる内容だったと思います。
