Decide first whether you want music with your meal or a separate dinner and performance, then compare menus and start times across these Vienna options. For a Mozart dinner concert in Vienna, the Musikverein package keeps the two parts separate; at the Mirage Theater, dinner is served alongside a Strauss show.
Use the timings and inclusions below to narrow your choice, then consult Tiqets for your date and ticket option.
Mirage Theater, Prater: a four-course dinner accompanies the show. The evening begins at 19:30 and runs for approximately 135 minutes; beverages cost extra.
Musikverein: choose a three-course dinner at 18:00 or 22:15 around the 20:15 concert. The package excludes drinks, travel between the restaurant and concert hall, hotel transfers and the concert-hall coat check.
Schönbrunn: an 18:30 start and approximately 225 minutes for a three-course dinner at Café Restaurant Gerstner followed by a concert, usually in the Orangerie. Additional drinks are excluded, and only VIP tickets include coat check.
Palais Auersperg: begin at 17:45 with a four-course dinner before the Imperial Gala Concert; allow approximately 195 minutes overall. The supplied listing specifies no exclusions and names wine and sparkling wine as VIP inclusions.
Frequently asked questions
Which options combine the meal and performance?
+
Only the Mirage Theater serves its four-course dinner during the show. At the Musikverein, you can dine before or after the concert; Schönbrunn and Palais Auersperg both place dinner before the performance.
When does each evening begin?
+
The first start is Palais Auersperg at 17:45, followed by Schönbrunn at 18:30 and the Mirage Theater at 19:30. For the Musikverein, the concert is at 20:15 and dinner is a choice of 18:00 or 22:15.
Which ticket options cover drinks?
+
Neither the Mirage Theater nor the Musikverein dinner includes beverages. Schönbrunn includes a listed glass of sparkling wine, but not additional drinks. At Palais Auersperg, the VIP option lists a bottle of wine and a glass of sparkling wine.
What vegetarian or other dietary options are available?
+
Select the vegetarian option for a vegetarian meal at the Mirage Theater. Palais Auersperg lists vegetarian menus and can cater for vegan, gluten-free and other dietary needs if requested.
How late can I cancel or reschedule?
+
Free cancellation and rescheduling are available until 48 hours before the Mirage Theater visit. The deadline for the other three products is 24 hours before the visit, also for free cancellation and rescheduling. Confirm the exact cut-off for your chosen booking on Tiqets.
What are the clothing recommendations?
+
Choose casual chic for the Mirage Theater, smart attire for the Musikverein and smart casual for Schönbrunn, in line with their recommendations or requirements. Palais Auersperg advises elegant clothing suited to the occasion, without imposing a strict dress code.
Is the Orangerie guaranteed for the Schönbrunn performance?
+
The Orangerie is the usual concert venue, not a guaranteed one. On selected dates, the performance may instead be held in the palace’s White-and-Gold Room or Great Gallery.
Can I book any of these evenings on every day of the week?
+
Check the individual product and date for availability. The supplied Musikverein schedule lists selected Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. None of the four listings confirms daily performances across the full booking period.
Choose the format, then check the practical details
A composer’s name alone will not tell you how these four Vienna dinner concerts unfold. The main choice is between a staged show with food served during it and a meal enjoyed separately from the music. Once you have decided whether to eat while listening or keep the two apart, compare the timings and ticket inclusions.
For a separate dinner and concert, the Musikverein package offers flexibility: dine at the Grand Hotel Wien at 18:00 or 22:15, with the Vienna Mozart Orchestra concert at 20:15. The meal has three courses. Build the journey between the restaurant and concert hall into your plans, as transport and the hall’s coat check are not included.
The two other dinner-first options have earlier starts. Palais Auersperg begins at 17:45, the earliest time listed, and allows approximately 195 minutes for a four-course Austrian menu and the Imperial Gala Concert. The programme features Mozart, Johann Strauss, Vivaldi and others. Dietary adjustments can be requested; also note before booking that this protected historic building has no elevator.
At Schönbrunn, the 18:30 evening lasts approximately 225 minutes. A three-course Austrian meal at Café Restaurant Gerstner comes before a concert featuring Mozart’s operatic music. Arrive 15 minutes before dinner and verify the concert venue for your date: the performance can move from the Orangerie to rooms inside the palace.
For food and performance together, the Strauss Dinner Concert at the Mirage Theater in the Prater combines a four-course Austrian menu with three acts. Singers, ballet dancers and violin soloists join a 20-piece orchestra playing waltzes, marches and polkas. The show is in English and involves the audience.
The Mirage Theater starts at 19:30 and runs for approximately 135 minutes. There are classic, vegetarian and children’s menu options, so check the selection covered by your ticket. Beverages are charged separately: having dinner included does not mean every table order is covered.
Before paying, review the date, dinner selection and voucher instructions together. Compare the actual ticket options for drinks and extras rather than assuming the four packages provide the same inclusions. Allow for the different cancellation deadlines too: the Mirage requires 48 hours’ notice, while the other three packages require 24 hours.
