The area
Address
Neighborhood: 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 center. 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.

A beautiful anf very well maintained palace and gardens. Including a museum fir children. Entry can be expensive so perhaps there is a need to be a little selective. Whatever your choice it will be worthwhile. Gardens/parks are free and well worth seeing. The Austrians are proud to show you their history.

Forget the street salesmen in fancy dress,simply contact Wiener Barockorchester direct and you will be entranced with their performance. Perfection in a small 200 person Baroque Concert Hall complete with ensemble of 6 classic artists plus Soprano and Baritone covering not on Viennese butt classic from other legendary composers.

7 members of a chamber orchestra with a first lead violinist who is controlled and very serious but, as it turns out, has a good sense of humour. The hall is beautiful and the repertoire included the well known classics and 2 fabulous singers to entertain. The repertoire included composers from across the musical eras and across Europe from the local heroes Mozart and Strauss, to Tchaikovsky and it was sublime. Each half took 45 minutes and we felt entertained and enthralled. We got our tickets for €44 each from outside Stephensplatz. They have a programme on each chair and the lead violinist introduces each piece in German and English. Well worth the money for 90 minutes of entertainment.

Beautiful concert, talented performers!
Staff not so friendly, they don’t tell you f.ex, When you buy the tickets that they charge you for taking your coats and youre not allowed to take them with you inside... Could be cleaner.. Typical tourist trap!

Don't come here to hear the classical music. Don't buy the ticket here from the sellers outside in the street in front of the church. The places where the concert has taken the place is nice but too small. The so called orchestra is only 4 ppl playing same old boring songs that you have heart so many times. Also the price is not even accurate. Do urself a favor. Go to the State Opera rather.

This concert was the perfect opportunity to experience the musical culture of Vienna. My husband is not a fan of classical music and thought he would find it boring, however, he admittedly thoroughly enjoyed it, as did I. The setting for the concert was beautiful and very intimate. The musicians seemed to connect with the audience, contributing to an overall nice atmosphere. I must comment as I read some reviews complaining about the quality of music or the venue. Keep in mind, this is a tourist attraction, not the Vienna State Opera, it is meant to entertain people from all walks of life, some with limited knowledge of classical music. If you want to spend a couple of hours in beautiful surroundings, listening to classical music pieces that you are sure to recognize, enjoy a glass of sparkling wine and a nice atmosphere, then this is the perfect attraction for you. The price difference is attributed to where you are seated, with the most expensive tickets (54 Euro) reserved for the front of the room, however the venue is not large and has good acoustics so if you don't want to spend that much, you don't need to.

I want to associate myself with the previous comments about this group and venue. This is NOT an orchestra, but an ensemble of five string musicians and a pianist playing something similar to 10 Greatest Hits. The SCHONBORN Palace also has nothing in common with the much larger and better-known Schönbrunner Palace, the spectacular summer home of the Hapsburgs. For this “concert” at the Schonborn, you’re seated in a large room fitted with straight back chairs.
This is more a recital that included two vocal soloists trying to be cute with each other, but nowhere near the quality of the performances that we saw and heard at the Vienna State Opera or at the Kursalon. Save your money and go to a performance at either of those, or to one of the many excellent church concerts held throughout Vienna.

An intimate private concert of
the Barroque orquestra formed by 1 piano Man, 3 violinists, 1 cello and 1 double bass. In occasions there were also two singers, a woman and a man, sharing the attention with the instruments. It was all very well organized with a few seconds pause after every composition and a bigger pause at the middle of the whole even, with time to drink and stretch your legs. The place had an excellent acoustic and the atmosphere was fantastic. Just all the necessary to appreciate the quality of these excellent musicians.

This was a most enjoyable concert of well known pieces of classical and operatic music, the musicians and singers were extremely competent and the pieces were delivered with enthusiasm. One niggle; it was compulsory to put your coats in the cloakroom and for this you are charged 1 euro an item, the real issue was that the coats were then not put in numerical order which led to a long queue on leaving as coats had to be retrieved from all over the racks. An unnecessary blot on a lovely evening

This was a marvellous experience in the heart of Vienna. A small chamber group along with two fine opera singers did a medley of classical hits. It's a very intimate atmosphere, and there are no bad seats in the small hall. Highly recommended. Even if you haven't booked tickets in advance, check at the venue for availability.
