The concert was a delight and met all our expectations. I would recommend this all round performance to other tourists in Vienna.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review!
We were absolutely thrilled to attend the concert at Palais Auersperg. It was a truly unforgettable evening, and every moment of the performance was captivating. My partner, who usually ends up dozing off during concerts, was completely engrossed from beginning to end. Watching him sit in awe throughout the entire performance was a testament to how exceptional the musicians and the atmosphere were. Thank you for giving us such a beautiful and memorable experience.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted that you both had such a memorable evening with us. Your kind words mean a lot, and we hope to welcome you back to Palais Auersperg again soon!
Thoroughly delightful and entertaining 1.5 hours concert with first-rate outstanding musicians, an exceptional opera singer, and beautiful ballet dancers. We bought Category A Seats to see the performers closer up on the stage in this intimate setting (the size of a hotel conference room). We love hearing the variety of all-time favorites arias and pieces by Mozart, Strauss, Pizzaola, etc. The performers' energy was contagious, as they were having a fun time too. Highly recommend and would go again.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted that you enjoyed the concert and truly appreciate your kind words.
The music and soprano were fantastic. I had issue with the how poorly the venue was. It was sweltering inside and as it was in the low 50s we had sweaters on. People all around us were squeezed in and hot. The venue was not nice at all there were stains in the carpet, the fake flowers at the foot of the stage were missing in areas and you could see the green foam. The “candles” in the chandelier and wall scones were all bent sideways or where the light bulbs were missing the lights. I wish I would have gone to one of the other options that I was contemplating as this was not what the photos showed nor what I thought a night out in Vienna to listen to classical music while on vacation would have been like. Very misrepresentations of the venue.
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the music and the soprano performance, but we’re very sorry that the venue did not meet your expectations. The issues you described regarding temperature, crowding, and the condition of the space are not in line with the experience we aim to provide. We take your comments seriously and will address them with our team to improve both comfort and presentation in the future. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
We enjoyed the concert which was a mixture of music, opera and ballet. Would highly recommend.
Thank you very much for your kind words. We are very happy to hear those .
A truly wonderful and unforgettable experience. The performances included the most recognisable classical pieces with ballet and an incredible soprano. Flawless and highly recommended.
Thank you very much for your kind words. We are very happy to hear those 🎶
We got to experience a very watchable concert. The concert offered many well-known pieces and we enjoyed the whole performance. The room was relatively small and it gave us a close experience to orchestra, soloist and dancer.
Thank you very much for your feedback; we're so glad you enjoyed your evening with us.
Great experience. We were close to all the musicians. Along with the singing and dancing it felt like a real opera.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! That means a lot to us.
Went to s number of concerts while in Vienna and this one was the most fun. The soprano soloist had a strong clear voice that resonated through the room even when walking along the audience. When the time came for it she was very engaging with the audience. Also enjoyed the dancing which helped to interpret the music. They made the most of the small stage that they had to work open. The musicians were talented and enjoyed having the flute and oboe included which was a little different than most of the other small concerts we had been to that just had a string section. Good acoustics in the venue.
Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We are truly delighted that you enjoyed the concert. We truly hope to welcome you again for another enjoyable evening in Vienna!
This concert was so much fun with a combination of instrumentalists, a soprano, and ballet dancers. The musical selections were outstanding with Mozart, Vivaldi, Bach, Strauss, Brahms and others. The venue was beautiful with fine acoustics. The pianist, Vinicius Kattah, was the charming master of ceremonies while the first violin, Daniel Holguin, played very well and kept the musical ensemble moving along at just the right pace. The soprano, Brigitte Simon was an excellent vocalist and very vivacious and entertaining. The dancers were very good and very entertaining. If you are in Vienna don't miss this gem of a performance in a classic venue.
Thank you very much for your fantastic and detailed review! We’re truly delighted to hear how much you enjoyed the concert and that the combination of instrumentalists, soprano, and ballet made the evening so special for you. It’s wonderful to know that the musical program and the atmosphere of Palais Auersperg left such a great impression. We especially appreciate your kind words about Vinicius Kattah, Daniel Holguin, and Brigitte Simon, as well as our dancers – your feedback will certainly mean a lot to the entire team. Thank you also for your recommendation – we couldn’t ask for a better compliment! We very much hope to welcome you again for another memorable evening in Vienna.
