Choose between the Schönbrunn Palace concert on its own and packages with dinner or the Christmas market, then book your option on Tiqets. At the Orangery, orchestral music and vocal performances bring together Mozart and Johann Strauss. The concert begins at 20:30 and runs for about 1 hour 45 minutes.
Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Johann Strauss forms the programme, performed by the Schönbrunn Palace Orchestra with vocal contributions. The repertoire listed brings together operetta arias, waltzes and polkas with overtures, arias and duets from Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro, Die Zauberflöte and Don Giovanni.
Concert and Christmas market: what is included?
Alongside concert admission, this package provides a Christmas market voucher covering 1 mug, 1 hot drink and 1 dish. The dates currently listed extend through 5 January 2027.
A palace tour is excluded. Before using the package, take your smartphone voucher to the Orangery Ticket Box and exchange it for a paper concert ticket and the market voucher.
Dinner before the music: how does the package work?
Allow about 3 hours 45 minutes for dinner and the concert together. The evening begins at 18:30 at Café Restaurant Gerstner with a three-course Austrian meal, followed by the performance.
Be at the restaurant 15 minutes before dinner and present your ticket at the entrance. The package does not cover additional drinks.

Schönbrunn on metro line U4 is the stop for the Orangery; its entrance is directly across from the station.

“We went with our two kids, 5.5 and 8 yrs. We all loved the venue, beautiful inside and out. The musicians and conductor were incredible. The vocalists, soprano and baritone, were incredibly talented. For the kids it was entertaining especially because the pieces alternated between instrumental and lyrical.”

Frequently asked questions
What are the start, arrival and finishing-time arrangements for the Schönbrunn Palace concert?
+
Allow about 1 hour 45 minutes for the performance, which begins at 20:30. You should arrive at 20:15, giving you 15 minutes before the start.
How can I reach the Orangery from the city centre, and where is it?
+
Take U4 to Schönbrunn and use the entrance directly opposite the station. The Orangery is a separate building in the Schönbrunn Palace complex at Schönbrunner Schloßstraße 47.
How do the ticket categories differ?
+
Consult the category descriptions on Tiqets when choosing a ticket. The supplied concert-only listing does not identify seat positions. It does specify that VIP includes a glass of sparkling wine or orange juice, coat check and a programme booklet.
Does concert admission also cover a palace tour?
+
A palace tour is not part of the standard ticket: it covers the concert, Orangery and Orangery Garden. Separate palace-visit packages are listed, though none currently show bookable dates.
What clothing guidance do the listings give?
+
Smart casual is specified for both the dinner-and-concert and Christmas-market-and-concert packages. No dress code is stated in the concert-only listing.
Do I present my ticket directly or exchange a voucher?
+
With a concert-only ticket, present it to the employee at the Orangery entrance. The Christmas market package works differently: take your smartphone voucher to the Orangery Ticket Box to receive a paper concert ticket and the market voucher.
What are the cancellation and rescheduling deadlines?
+
For concert-only tickets and the packages with dinner or the Christmas market, cancellation is free and gives a full refund until 24 hours before your visit. You can also reschedule until 24 hours before the visit.
How is the dinner-and-concert evening arranged?
+
The package includes a three-course Austrian meal at Café Restaurant Gerstner at 18:30, with the concert afterwards. Together they take about 3 hours 45 minutes. Arrive at the restaurant 15 minutes before dinner.
Plan your evening at the Schönbrunn Palace concert
The current booking calendar lists concerts on most evenings. Performances normally take place in the Orangery, a separate building in the Schönbrunn Palace complex, where the Schönbrunn Palace Orchestra presents music by Mozart and Johann Strauss with vocal performances.
Plan around a 20:30 start and a running time of about 1 hour 45 minutes. Tiqets requests arrival 15 minutes before the performance, so aim for 20:15 at the entrance. An employee welcomes visitors and checks the ticket that provides concert admission.
Check the venue arrangements for your chosen date as well as the time. The Orangery is the usual setting, but some performances are held in the Great Gallery or the White-and-Gold Room in the main palace building.
Rather than a complete opera, the evening offers a selection of works. The Mozart repertoire listed includes overtures, arias and duets from operas such as Le Nozze di Figaro, Die Zauberflöte and Don Giovanni. Operetta arias, waltzes and polkas also feature in the programme.
With the standard ticket, you can enter the concert, Orangery and Orangery Garden; a palace tour is not included. For the concert-only product, VIP adds coat check, a programme booklet and a glass of sparkling wine or orange juice.
Two other packages add to the concert evening. Dinner begins at 18:30 at Café Restaurant Gerstner, with three Austrian courses before the performance. Allow about 3 hours 45 minutes in total and reach the restaurant 15 minutes before dinner, as the arrival instructions request.
On the listed Christmas market dates, the market package instead adds a voucher for a mug, a hot drink and a dish. This requires an exchange at the Orangery Ticket Box, unlike the concert-only ticket. Compare the inclusions you want and review your selected option on Tiqets before booking.
Dates and prices checked on 10 November 2026. Live availability on Tiqets.
