Popular Tickets in Vienna

The concert itself was excellent., the orchestra, singers and conductor were all very good. Unfortunately, we could hardly see anything from where we were sitting. We were right in the corner behind a statue and had to stand most of the time. Also although the dress code was supposedly a formal/black tie event nearly everyone in there were dressed very casually with jeans and trainers. We could have gone more casually too and not packed extra formal clothes in our suitcases that we didn't need. Just write 'no dress code' so people know, like they do for other concerts I checked out!!

This was so much fun! The show runs every hour from 11 - 4 so even though we thought we had missed our time slot at 11, we were able to join the show at 1. Booking ahead got us vip seating and service - right up front and they brought us our coffee and strudel as opposed to the walk-in guests. The show was fun, the strudel delicious and a wonderful addition to our day at Shönbrunn Palace.

Exactly what it said on tin. Lippizaner training session from 10am to 12pm but an hour was all we needed. You won’t see horses doing the formations they do in show but you will see them practicing moves on an individual basis. Lovely to watch. Although we purchased on line tickets still had to queue to exchange it for a paper ticket.

The Lipizzaners can live until the age of 24 so there is a mix of young horses in training and older fully trained on show. That also applies to riders and makes it interesting to witness the different development stages. Initially it may seem repetitive but the longer you can stay the more meaningful it becomes. Highly recommended.

Seating space even in superior section of this ornate beautiful concert hall is cramped. Hanging your coat costs you a little money but mostly time. Taxis and transportation are plentiful. Music and costumes are great. I loved the performance both classical music selections and opera. Enjoyed it.
