Hear Mozart in Vienna’s Musikverein with period costumes, opera highlights, and four seating categories. Learn how to choose your seat wisely.
“Very fun. The music was delightful. A lot of light hearted humor. Dress in layers. Cool outside, warm inside”
Hear Mozart and Strauss with singers, dancers, and up to 40 musicians in Vienna’s grand Hofburg, Konzerthaus, or Opera.
“Lovely evening listening to music in a beautiful concert hall. Only thing is they need to monitor cell phones better. I paid to watch a concert performance and not cell phones recording in front of me. But amazing performance and conductor was brilliant!”
Hear Vivaldi, Mozart, and Haydn at Vienna’s Musikverein, with a choice of seats in the Golden Hall or Brahms Hall.
“Venue very interesting, but please be aware that not everyone respects the no mobiles rule which can be distracting. Would have been helpful if a staff member were on the balcony as a warning.”
Review of Vienna’s Baroque Orchestra at Palais Schönborn-Batthyány, with music, opera singers, seating tips, value, and practical advice.
“I think Viator is not given priority to get good seats. There is no wavy to select your seat when you purchase your ticket. So you may get an end row seat in a class A seating area that is worse than a central seat in class B seating area. Several people got repositioned after asking about seating assignment policy. They showed the list and none of the central seating veas from Viator… For the rest, the concert is excellent and that is I only took one star away because of my comments”
A practical review of Vienna’s Royal Orchestra, with Mozart, Strauss, opera, ballet, seat advice, venue tips, and honest value notes.
“This orchestra was phenomenal. I had not expected to be as moved as I was by this performance. The concertmaster was so impressive and it was very apparent that he loved playing his violin. He was really emotive and quite a maestro. I loved this show and if I ever come back to Vienna I hope I will be able to attend again.”
Hear Mozart and Strauss with opera singers and ballet dancers in a Vienna palace, with practical tips on seating, timing, and value.
“Excellent performance, music. Staff are courteous, seats are arranged well in large hall. Very enjoyable. Definitely recommend it.”
Learn the Viennese Waltz in a historic Vienna ballroom with patient English-speaking instructors, Strauss music, and a practical beginner lesson.
“It was great learning how to Waltz while in Vienna. The 50 minutes flew by. Aga made it seem very simple.”
Learn Vienna’s iconic waltz with Dance Master Aga Bohun in an elegant ballroom, a warm beginner-friendly couples class priced at $40 per person.
“I can faithfully say Aga’s waltz class was the perfect ice breaker for our first time visiting Vienna. Aga brings a very friendly, warm and attentive energy that makes learning such dance steps so much easier. I highly recommend this class especially is you are a beginner in dance, we will be coming back. 5 stars.”
Hear Austrian classics in Vienna’s Palais Schönborn-Batthány with a small Baroque orchestra, two singers, and a 90-minute concert.
“Das Konzert ist für Touristen konzipiert. Es werden "Schlager" der klassischen Musik von fünf Streichern und einem Pianisten präsentiert, dazu treten bei wenigen Stücken zwei Solosänger auf. Für Touristen ok, weniger für Musikkenner, die ein ansprechendes Konzert hören wollen.”
Pick a palace, a concert hall or a table.
