Mozart Concert at the Golden Hall
1 / 4
Musikverein Wien - by Management
Description
The Musikverein in Vienna is one of the best-known concert halls in the world; it is celebrated for the quality of its orchestra and the acoustics of its largest hall: the Golden Hall (or Grand Hall). The latter has a large pipe organ, a seating capacity of about 1,700 and a standing one of 300. Concerts with a focus on the works of W.A. Mozart are held several times a week and include a mix of movements from symphonies and serenades, concertos for piano, violin and flute and overtures, arias and duets from his best-known operas.
Access & Transport
The concert hall is on Karlsplatz, on the southern edge of Innere Stadt. The Karsplatz metro (U1, U4) and tram stations (1, 62) are next to it as well as bus 4A and the Schwarzenbergplatz tram station (71, D) is 100m away.
Instructions & Recommendations
Admissions start at 19h30 and the concert at 20h15, finishing around 22h00.
Environmental & Social
No environmental data but performances require significant electricity consumption (lighting, cooling, heating). Helps spread the arts
Conclusion
Recommended for those with little or no experience of philharmonic and opera performances and wishing to give it a try with a Viennese touch. For enlightened amateurs, there are better options around or on different days.
Key positive

Feels a little artificial and touristy
