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.

Spectacular venue with world-class performances. A must-see/hear when in Vienna. A couple of notes... Do not be late. Performances start on time and you will not be allowed in until intermission if you are late. Also, you are expected to be quiet, respectful and very still while watching the performance. This was a bit new for me and not what I have experienced in other concerts. They take this very seriously as a sign of respect for the musicians. This is not to discourage anyone from going but each country has it's own vibe and I find it helpful to know these kinds of things so I'm sharing them. Absolute must-see when in Vienna.

It was an amazing experience. The interior was splendid. The decoration and the art of the music hall itself require one visit. The Mozart concert was fabulous. The singers and the conductors mesmerized us all the time. It was two hours long but not for a moment I felt bored. Highly recommended during a visit to Vienna.

If, like us, you couldn’t get tickets to a performance in the main hall, standing room might be your only option to hear the amazing acoustics. If you know what you are in for, you won’t be disappointed. Other reviewers have mentioned the queue, the coat check, etc. all I could say is, yes, it is uncomfortable, and hot. And crowded. Quite a few people left at intermission ( so did we, unfortunately as our friends just couldn’t hack it), so I wonder whether the strategy should be to arrive for the second half?

The concert hall is beautiful and worth a visit on its own; that said, we immediately noticed that the acoustics of the hall makes the sound more crisp. We are regular symphony goers and the difference was very dramatic. Try to attend a concert in this hall and you will be rewarded.

I was fortunate to get a ticket to the Moscow State Orchestra playing Tchaikovsky Pathetique and it was televised. It was the most amazing place/concert/experience. Because it was televised the lighting was even more than usual and the ceiling was simply phenomenal, it thoroughly deserves its name as the Golden Hall. Having come back from Istanbul by train and all connections worked I was as high as a kite for weeks after and even now after a few years it still touched my soul that a building which I had toured when empty just comes alive as a living breathing wonderful thing. Sheer magic - do go if you can.

The atmosphere and decoration are fantastic as a concert house.
However, extremely bad experience as we paid €98 for a classic concert and they sit us 3 rows from the back . The music acoustic was extremely bad , back there. To make things worst , after mid break, all the general public with much lower paying customer €38 plus can free officially to come up and sit in front of you if there are available sits ( officially approved free for all arrangement ). Makes me feel like a fool to pay so much.

I just went spontaneously to a concert and got a last minute ticket. Dvorak and Beethoven by the Wiener Symphoniker, so really good orchestra and incredible pieces. The hall is worth seeing, a historic place for viennese and international music, but I had a place in the standing area, where about 30 people can stand comfortably. There where at least a 100 people, so I got a spot in the last corner, where I didn’t see anything and had an uncomfortable spot. It’s a pity that they sell so many tickets for such a small area and, in my opinion, it doesn’t represent the spirit of such a noble institution.

Perhaps world’s the most famous concert venue with wonderful acoustic. Even if the building itself is not modern anymore, it does not matter. You can see here so much history, proud and enthusiasm. Concret is this place is really great experience.

This is a beautiful set of Music Halls that is a must visit when in Vienna. The tour is most educational and entertaining. You are only allowed to take pictures in the great hall, but that is the one you want to remember anyway. Highly recommend it.

If we only get to go to a concert at one of these, should we choose Wiener Staatsope or Musikverein?

Hey! It depends on which kind of music you prefer: if you like opera the Staatsoper is the best place, if you prefer instrumental music I would recommend you the Musikverein, though also at the opera house there is a good orchestra. I personally love the architecture and atmosphere at the Staatsoper, it's a Neorenaissance building and one of the most important projects of the Ring (a main street in Vienna); but also the Musikverein is a really beautiful building. So just decide on which program you prefer!

Hi, Christine. What would you like to know about this attraction? The tour is only 35 mins long and you are not allowed to take any photos even without flash? I wanted to take a photo or two as my elderly mother watches the New Year Concert and it would be lovely to show her images?

Hi
We went to a lunchtime concert and I was able to take pictures with my phone, these were not the best quality but they did show the opulence of the hall. Sadly we did not do the tour so I don't know what the rules were for this
Hola, quisiera saber si las entradas a 6-7 euros se pueden comprar por internet?? O sólo se venden el dia de los conciertos?

Ciao, Che posti consigliate per partecipare al Concerto di Capodanno? Ovviamente quelli "minimo" per un piacevole spettacolo, non quelli top di gamma. Grazie.
ps. Quanto dura il concerto di Capodanno?

Salve, i biglietti per il concerto di Capodanno non sono per nulla scontati, al di là del prezzo. La guida ci ha spiegato che,a causa del numero esorbitante di richieste, si fa domanda, dove si sceglie quanto si vuole spendere(metà platea,più o meno euro 1.500,00/cd)e poi si partecipa ad un sorteggio,finito il quale,se si viene sorteggiati, puoi comprare il biglietto...altrimenti,l’anno successivo si ripete iter,senza diritti di prelazione...in bocca al lupo!!!
