★★★★★
“Amazing, humour and a very pleasant classical concert in a typical Vienna location with all the traditional compositors.
High orchestra level, soprano and baryton each one at the best level.
I was really in Vienna. I enjoy and public was interactive in this concert.Never forget!”

★★★
“Like a lot of Vienna, overpriced and not what I had expected. More of a comedy routine in a stuffy orchestral hall reserved for tourists. Entertaining otherwise and great performances.”

How do I confirm the concert hall?
+
Both the Zeremoniensaal and Festsaal at the Hofburg are named by Tiqets as concert venues. Read the location name and address on your ticket carefully.
Start with the date rather than assuming a nightly schedule. The supplied calendar lists six Hofburg performances: 25, 26, 27 and 31 December 2026, then 1 and 2 January 2027. The January dates add two performances to those recorded on the earlier page card.
The Hofburg Strauss & Mozart concert combines orchestral playing with opera singing and classical ballet. Tiqets identifies the palace’s Zeremoniensaal and Festsaal as venues; neither hall should be assumed for your booking, so use the location details on your ticket.
Up to 40 musicians of the Vienna Hofburg Orchestra perform with opera singers and ballet performers from Vienna’s opera houses. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and the Strauss family are not the only composers represented: the listed repertoire also includes Kálmán and Lehár.
The performance runs for approximately 90 minutes, and you should arrive 30 minutes before it starts. The stated starting time is 20:30, except on 1 January. No alternative time is supplied for New Year’s Day, so confirm it when booking that performance.
Enter from Heldenplatz, then exchange your voucher for entrance tickets at the evening box office before going in. The printed concert programme is excluded. Hofburg sightseeing visits and Sisi Museum admission are separate products, not inclusions in this concert booking.
If your evening has no Hofburg performance, first compare Schönbrunn Orangerie. Its 105-minute concert combines Mozart and Johann Strauss with vocal performances. U4 Schönbrunn is opposite the Orangerie, though the listing notes that some performances take place in other palace rooms.
Next, consider Palais Auersperg: its 90-minute concert includes Mozart, Johann Strauss, Vivaldi and others, with ballet and an English-speaking host.
For the Hofburg booking, you can cancel free of charge or reschedule until 24 hours before your visit.
