Palace, concert hall or museum: which should I choose?

Choose Schönbrunn for Mozart and Strauss with vocal performances in a palace setting. On certain dates, the concert moves from the Orangery to the Great Gallery or the White-and-Gold Room. The Musikverein offers a Vienna Mozart Orchestra concert lasting 105 minutes.

For a museum visit and concert in one ticket, compare Mozarthaus and House of Strauss. Haus der Musik is different: its 60-minute string-quartet ticket does not include museum admission.

• Ballet and opera vocals: Old Stock Exchange or Hofburg.
• Mozart and his contemporaries with museum entry: Mozarthaus.
• Museum, orchestra, soprano and a glass of sparkling wine: House of Strauss.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose a Mozart and Strauss concert in Vienna?

Start with the programme rather than the building. Several tickets pair Mozart with Strauss, but the selection is not identical across venues. Mozarthaus describes chamber music by Mozart and his contemporaries. Haus der Musik lists Mozart, Haydn, Schubert, Strauss and Beethoven in a 60-minute programme played by a string quartet.

Schönbrunn offers a longer programme at 105 minutes. Its description includes Mozart overtures, arias and duets alongside operetta arias, waltzes and polkas. Vocal performances are part of the concert. Arrive 15 minutes before the start, and check your ticket: some performances take place inside the palace rather than in the Orangery.

The Musikverein ticket is specifically for the Vienna Mozart Orchestra in your selected category. The listing gives a duration of 105 minutes and notes a 15-minute break. Coats, umbrellas and bags must go into the cloakroom, which costs extra. Children under 5 are not admitted, and photography and filming are prohibited during the performance.

If you want dance as well as music, compare the Old Stock Exchange with the Hofburg. Both list ballet and opera vocals. At the Old Stock Exchange, seats are not assigned in advance; evening staff guide you to a seat. The Hofburg programme features the Vienna Hofburg Orchestra, with up to 40 musicians, on a limited number of dates.

Museum inclusions need a separate check. Mozarthaus combines museum entry with the Wiener Ensemble concert. House of Strauss includes its museum, an orchestra and soprano, a glass of sparkling wine, and a visual presentation with a light show. Its museum opens 90 minutes before the concert. The Haus der Musik concert ticket, despite the venue’s name, excludes museum access.

Finally, compare the arrival and voucher instructions, not just the duration. Mozarthaus allows voucher exchange at the box office 30 minutes before the concert, while the Hofburg also requires a box-office exchange. Haus der Musik does not permit late entry. The supplied cancellation terms allow a full refund until 24 hours before the visit or timeslot for these products, except Mozarthaus, which requires 48 hours.
