“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.”

What can I expect at the Schönbrunn Palace concert?
The Schönbrunn Palace concert combines orchestral music and vocal performances in a programme devoted to Mozart and Johann Strauss. The Schönbrunn Palace Orchestra performs at the Orangery, a separate building within the palace complex. Concert dates are listed for most evenings in the current booking calendar.
The Mozart selection includes overtures, arias and duets from operas such as Le Nozze di Figaro, Die Zauberflöte and Don Giovanni. Alongside these, the listing describes operetta arias, waltzes and polkas. This is a mixed concert programme rather than a performance of one complete opera.
The concert starts at 20:30 and lasts about 1 hour 45 minutes. Tiqets asks you to arrive 15 minutes beforehand, so plan to be at the entrance by 20:15. An employee welcomes visitors there and checks the ticket used for concert admission.
Although the Orangery is the usual venue, the room can change. On certain dates, performances take place in the Great Gallery or the White-and-Gold Room inside the main palace building. Keep this possibility in mind when checking the arrangements for your selected date.
The standard ticket includes admission to the concert, Orangery and Orangery Garden. It does not include a tour of the palace. The concert-only VIP option adds a glass of sparkling wine or orange juice, coat check and a programme booklet.
For a meal before the music, the dinner package begins at 18:30 at Café Restaurant Gerstner. It includes three Austrian courses followed by the concert, taking about 3 hours 45 minutes overall. Its arrival instructions ask you to reach the restaurant 15 minutes before dinner.
During the listed Christmas market dates, another package combines the concert with a voucher for a mug, a hot drink and a dish. Unlike the concert-only ticket, this package requires a voucher exchange at the Orangery Ticket Box. Choose according to what you want included, and check the selected option on Tiqets before booking.
Dates and prices checked on 10 November 2026. Live availability on Tiqets.
