Description

Note: On 18 August 2024, Hofburg Orchestra performs a Special Concert at the Vienna State Opera.

Discover the wonderful music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and the Strauss family in the unique halls of the Vienna Hofburg and the Vienna Konzerthaus. The Vienna Hofburg Orchestra consists of up to 40 musicians and is accompanied by internationally renowned opera singers and classical ballet from Viennas opera houses.

The world-famous melodies by Mozart and waltzes by Strauss have their origins in Vienna. They belong to this beautiful city just like St. Stephens Cathedral or the "Heuriger" and are its cultural heritage and landmark at the same time.

From May to October, the Vienna Hofburg Orchestra plays the best-known works of Johann and Josef Strauss, lively operas and operettas, and duets by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Emmerich Kalman, and Franz Lehar. The orchestra accompanies internationally renowned opera singers and ballet soloists from Viennas popular opera houses.

Just as Johann Strauss planned, and according to the tradition of all great Viennese orchestras, the musicians have prepared some musical jokes to delight the audience once again every evening!
