The Imperial Musical Legacy of Schönbrunn

A visit to Vienna is incomplete without experiencing the musical heritage of the Habsburg Empire within the walls of Schönbrunn Palace. These concerts take place in the historic Orangery, a venue where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart himself once performed in 1786 during the famous musical contest against Antonio Salieri. Today, the Schönbrunn Palace Orchestra and Ensemble continue this tradition, performing the most beloved overtures, arias, and duets from Mozart and Johann Strauss. Whether you choose a standalone concert or a comprehensive package including a three-course dinner and an after-hours palace tour with an audio guide, you are booking a ticket to a world of refined elegance and cultural excellence. Our platform connects you with the highest-rated operators, ensuring you secure your spot at one of the world's most sought-after classical music venues.

Planning

Historical Context

The palace was the heart of the Austrian Empire for centuries, serving as the home to Maria Theresa and Emperor Franz Joseph I.

Photography Tips

  • Capture the palace facade at 'Blue Hour' just before the concert starts for the most dramatic lighting.
  • Use a wide-angle lens for the gardens.

Insider Tips

  • If you take the U4 metro, use the 'Schönbrunn' exit, not 'Hietzing', for a more direct walk to the Orangery entrance.
  • The acoustics are best in the center of the hall.

Our Partners

  • We partner with Viator, a Tripadvisor company, to provide verified and secure booking options for the Schönbrunn Palace Orchestra.

Fun Facts

  • The Orangery at Schönbrunn is one of the two largest Baroque orangeries in the world, the other being at Versailles.

Klassik pur am Originalschauplatz

Wunderbare Akustik und ein sehr talentiertes Orchester. Wir hatten das Dinner-Paket gebucht und das Essen war vorzüglich. Ein Muss für jeden Fan von Mozart und Strauss.

Magica Atmosfera

Il palazzo è stupendo di sera. Il concerto è stato fantastico, anche se la passeggiata dalla metro al palazzo è un po' lunga. Consiglio di arrivare in anticipo per godersi il giardino.

Worth every penny

We did the after-hours tour before the concert. Having the palace almost to ourselves was a surreal experience. The audio guide was very informative and the music followed perfectly.

Une soirée royale

La musique de Strauss m'a donné des frissons. Les chanteurs d'opéra étaient excellents. C'est une expérience très bien organisée du début à la fin.

Increíble concierto en Viena

No puedes irte de Viena sin ver este espectáculo. Los bailarines de ballet y los cantantes le dan un toque muy especial a la orquesta. Muy recomendado.
