Disappointing

Beautiful concert location, let down by average music and circus atmosphere.

There are two options...

There are two options available for this tour so it can be confusing. The VIP pass allows each person a drink from the bar and a program. The program is 10 Euros by itself so if you think you want it and the drinks, buy the upgraded VIP pass allows each. The day we were there, it was 90 degrees outside with high humidity. The orangery was not well air conditioned. Also, we thought the program was going to be all classical music but it did have some opera numbers sung in German, which we don’t speak. Even so, the performers made it fun and engaging.

Not recommended!

I know it is subject to piece modification but at least let people know what are the pieces. I don't even know which piece they are playing. Guido Manzusi is the dirigent. It is my first time to have such dirigent lead the choir and I paid quite a lot. I give two stars because of the friendly personal or else I'll just give one!

Wonderful experience

A lovely way to spend an evening in Vienna listening to Mozart and Strauss in the city they lived. The musicians and performers were outstanding. Highly recommend.

Perfect musical evening for tourists to Vienna

Lovely venue. Good musicians. Highly entertaining programme aimed at the visitors (like us) who lapped it up. Finished with the crowd pleasing Radetzky March!

Not the Palace!

I guess I expected something special as it was in the palace. The Concert was enjoyable but I could have had it anywhere. While in Austria, I wanted only the Schönbrunner palace could deliver. But nothing like the magic happened, and the Orangerie is some makeshift hall that was built next to the Palace. So go there knowing what to expect.

Imperial flair and musical enjoyment in Schönbrunn

The concert in the orangery has a great atmosphere! And being able to visit Schönbrunn Palace in a small group, instead of amidst crowds of tourists, is an experience, even if one has been to the palace before.

My First Classical Concert—and Vienna Set the Bar Very High

My visit to the Schönbrunn Palace Classical Concert was one of the highlights of my time in Vienna. As someone attending a classical music concert for the very first time, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the experience exceeded every expectation. The conductor and orchestra were outstanding, delivering a performance that was both technically impressive and deeply moving. The music filled the hall beautifully, creating an atmosphere that was elegant, emotional, and unforgettable. The musicians’ talent and passion were evident throughout the evening. If you have never attended a classical concert, Vienna is the perfect place to experience one. The city’s musical heritage comes alive in performances like this, and the setting at Schönbrunn Palace makes the experience even more special. I highly recommend this concert to visitors looking for an authentic and memorable Viennese cultural experience.
