The Schoenbrunn Palace Orchestra awaits you at the Palace Orangery where Mozart himself performed in 1786. The concert is a fine selection of masterful music by Mozart and Strauss, rounded off by dance and vocal performances.
In the first part, you will listen to some of the most marvelous overtures, arias and duets from the operas of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. "Le Nozze di Figaro", "Die Zauberflöte" and "Don Giovanni" to name a few. The most popular operetta arias, waltzes and polkas of the "Walzerkoenig" Johann Strauss - from "Die Fledermaus" and "Der Zigeunerbaron" to "Donauwalzer" and the famous "Radetzkymarsch" - comprise the second part. The orchestra is accompanied by two opera singers, a soprano and a baritone, and by two ballet-dancers.
In the revitalized Schönbrunn Orangery, where Mozart himself once played, the Schönbrunn Palace Orchestra awaits you for an enchanting concert with selected works by Mozart and Strauss, accompanied by singing.
Since 1997, the Schönbrunn Palace concerts have established themselves as a fixed part of Viennese cultural and musical life. In the traditional Schönbrunn Orangery in Vienna, the Schönbrunn Palace Orchestra and the Schönbrunn Palace Ensemble present the most beautiful melodies by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Johann Strauss with a concert program that changes every day.
