Allow 50 minutes for either the Freddie Mercury Opera Show or Chopin & Viennese Friends, and be there 10 minutes before the performance begins. ### What is the address for the Salvatorsaal concerts? The venue for both programmes is at Barnabitengasse 14, 1060 Vienna, in the 6th district. ### How do the two musical programmes differ? In the Freddie Mercury Opera Show, his songs are arranged for opera voices and piano and presented alongside classical works and themes inspired by traditional Indian music. Chopin & Viennese Friends is a piano recital bringing together Chopin, his Viennese contemporaries and earlier composers. ### How do I present my ticket at Salvatorsaal? For the Freddie Mercury show, staff at the entrance accept your mobile voucher. For Chopin & Viennese Friends, present your smartphone ticket to the staff at the meeting point. ### What are the cancellation and rescheduling terms for Salvatorsaal? For either Salvatorsaal product, you can cancel free of charge and receive a full refund until 24 hours before your visit date. The same deadline applies to rescheduling. ### When should I arrive for the Karlskirche concert? The performance begins at 20:15 and doors open at 19:45. Arrival 30 minutes before the start is recommended. You must exchange your ticket at the venue box office at least 20 minutes before the concert. ## Compare the music, duration and entry arrangements Repertoire is the clearest starting point for choosing among these four concerts. At Salvatorsaal, the two programmes described as “by Candle Glow” each last 50 minutes: one features Freddie Mercury’s songs, while the other explores Chopin and composers linked to Vienna’s musical tradition. The church alternatives offer different music and longer performances. For voices with piano rather than a piano-only recital, consider the Freddie Mercury Opera Show. Its arrangements of rock songs sit alongside classical works that influenced Mercury’s art, with additional themes inspired by traditional Indian music. Chopin & Viennese Friends is devoted to piano music from the Classical and Romantic periods. Chopin appears alongside his Viennese contemporaries and earlier composers. The listing gives a selection of works, not a fixed running order of individual pieces. Both Salvatorsaal tickets include concert entry at Barnabitengasse 14; food and drinks are excluded from the Freddie Mercury show ticket. Arrive 10 minutes before the performance. As the supplied listings give no start times, check the time of your chosen performance on Tiqets. The church options should be compared by programme as well as setting. At Peterskirche, Classic Ensemble Vienna plays a 60-minute concert with composers including Beethoven, Bach and Mozart. Your ticket includes a programme flyer; exchange your smartphone voucher for a paper ticket at the entrance. Karlskirche offers Vivaldi’s Four Seasons on Baroque instruments over 75 minutes. Doors open at 19:45 for the 20:15 start, and your ticket must be exchanged at the venue box office at least 20 minutes before the performance. Children under 6 cannot attend. Dress for the weather, as the church can be cold in winter and warm in summer. Lighting is therefore only one part of the choice. Repertoire, performing format, length and ticket procedures differ across the four options. Once you have chosen the music, check the available date and the booking conditions. Dates and prices checked on 10 November 2026.
