Program details
During the course of his remarkable career, Mozart never failed to come back to the place where it had all started: Schoenbrunn. At the early age of six, he took his first steps towards an international career by performing for Empress Maria Theresia in Schoenbrunn. Years later, he had his musical duel with his eternal rival Salieri at Schoenbrunn Palace Orangery. Some of his works had their world premiere here at the Orangery.
Have an evening of royal pleasures just like the royalty in times long past: start by walking through the sumptuous palace and enjoy a grand finale at Schoenbrunn Palace Orangery, embarking on a musical journey with the Schoenbrunn Palace Orchestra. Following your tour of the palace's ceremonial rooms, the Schoenbrunn Palace Orchestra will take you on a journey to the world of Mozart and Strauss, accompanied by singing and dance - performed exclusively for you at Schoenbrunn Palace Orangery.

Individual guests will receive an audioguide and may take the palace tour anytime during the palace's official opening hours. Since there is no need for making an appointment, you are free to visit the palace at any day or time or your choice while in Vienna. Groups of 15 and up will enjoy an exclusive guided tour given by one of the palace's guides, after the palace has closed for the public and quieted down. Mozart would have been delighted.
