Start with the setting and time you have

• For a palace or concert hall, compare Schönbrunn’s 105-minute Mozart and Strauss programme with vocal performances against the 120-minute Musikverein Classical Concert. The Musikverein hall varies by date.
• For a church concert, allow 60–75 minutes for the options listed here. Karlskirche presents Vivaldi’s Four Seasons; at the other churches, check the programme for your chosen date.
• For a museum visit as well as a concert, consider Mozarthaus or House of Strauss: both include admission. The Haus der Musik ticket covers a 60-minute string-quartet performance only, without museum access.

Browse by venue, season or dinner-and-concert format

For holiday dates, consult the Christmas and New Year concert guides. The supplied Hofburg calendar shows performances on 25, 26, 27 and 31 December 2026 and on 1 and 2 January 2027.

The Mozart & Strauss, church concerts, Schönbrunn and Musikverein guides offer more focused comparisons. If you would like to combine a meal with the performance, use the dinner-and-concert guide.

Frequently asked questions

Before you book: programmes, admission and ticket conditions

Confirm the date before committing to a venue. In the supplied 120-day calendar window, Hofburg has six performances, starting on 25 December 2026. The venue name by itself does not tell you the programme, start time or availability for your intended evening.

Then compare what you will hear. Schönbrunn presents Mozart and Johann Strauss with vocal performances; Karlskirche offers Vivaldi’s Four Seasons on Baroque instruments. At Haus der Musik, a string quartet performs Mozart, Haydn, Schubert, Strauss and Beethoven.

Ballet is part of the offerings at the Old Stock Exchange, Palais Auersperg and Hofburg, each listed at 90 minutes. Palais Auersperg also lists a 15-minute intermission and commentary by an English-speaking host. At the Musikverein, keep the two products separate: the Vienna Mozart Orchestra concert lasts 105 minutes, while the Classical Concert lasts 120 minutes. The latter takes place in the Golden Hall or Brahms Hall, so verify both hall and programme for your date.

Check museum access separately from the concert setting. Mozarthaus includes admission alongside the Wiener Ensemble performance. House of Strauss combines museum access, a concert and sparkling wine, with the museum opening 90 minutes before the performance. The Haus der Musik ticket does not include museum admission.

Before arranging dinner or transport, read the entry instructions. Karlskirche opens its doors at 19:45 for a 20:15 start, and you must exchange your voucher at least 20 minutes before the concert. Neither Haus der Musik nor Minoritenkirche admits visitors once the performance has started.

You may also need to collect or exchange tickets. Peterskirche requires you to swap your smartphone voucher for a paper ticket at the entrance. For the Musikverein Classical Concert, collect numbered tickets in the lobby. At Stephansdom, look below your ticket’s QR code for the seat number.

Cancellation deadlines are product-specific. Most supplied listings permit cancellation up to 24 hours before the visit; Mozarthaus requires 48 hours. Annakirche and the Musikverein Classical Concert list a deadline of 1 hour before the visit.
