About Vienna Classical Music Concert
Vienna is the city of Mozart, Beethoven, Strauss, Schubert, Brahms, and Mahler, and attending a classical music performance is not optional. The Musikverein (home of the Vienna Philharmonic, and the Golden Hall where the New Year's Concert is broadcast worldwide) has the best acoustics in the world. The Konzerthaus is the modern alternative with a more varied program. Ticket prices range from EUR 15-200 depending on venue, seat, and performance. Church concerts (particularly at Karlskirche and Augustinerkirche) run EUR 25-45 and are often excellent. Avoid the costumed "Mozart concert" touts on the street: they are tourist traps with mediocre musicians.
Insider Tips
The Musikverein Golden Hall has the best acoustics but the cheapest seats (EUR 15-30) are behind the orchestra with limited sightlines. Konzerthaus is more comfortable for similar prices. Church concerts at Karlskirche (EUR 25-40) are excellent value in a beautiful setting. AVOID the costumed "Mozart dinner concerts" sold on the street: mediocre musicians, overpriced food, tourist trap. Book genuine concerts through the venues' own websites.
