Since 1997, concerts at Schönbrunn Palace have been an integral part of Viennese cultural and musical life. It is in the Schönbrunn Orangerie in Vienna, a place rich in tradition, that the Viennese Orchestra of Schönbrunn Palace or the Viennese Chamber Music Ensemble of Schönbrunn Palace present a different program every day, including the most beautiful melodies by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Johann Strauss.
WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART AND JOHANN STRAUSS
In the first part of the concert, you will hear some of the most beautiful duets and some of the most beautiful overtures, and arias extracted from the operas of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, such as "The Marriage of Figaro", "The Magic Flute" and "Don John".
Then, in the second part of the concert, you will enjoy the operetta arias, waltzes and polkas, which are the favorite pieces of the king of the waltz, Johann Strauss – from “La Chauve – Souris” to “Baron Tzigane”, without forget “Blue Danube Waltz” and “Radetzky March”.
Two lyrical singers, a soprano and a baritone, as well as a marvelous couple of dancers in historical costumes will accompany this entire concert evening.
THE SCHÖNBRUNN ORANGERY IN VIENNA
The Schönbrunn Orangery offers an ideal atmosphere reminiscent of the Habsburg emperors who liked to organize ceremonies and musical parties there. It was during one of these concerts that the most famous duel in the history of music took place between Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri.
On certain dates, the Palace Concerts take place respectively in the Great Gallery or in the White-Golden Hall of Schönbrunn Palace, or in prestigious concert halls in Vienna.
