New Year’s Concert
by the Vienna Hofburg Orchestra

A New Year’s concert in Vienna, the cosmopolitan city of music!

The program is rounded off by arias, duets and quartets by four renowned opera singers.

The orchestra is pleased to be able to play two concerts. One traditionally at 11am and a second for those who like to sleep in after a long New Year’s Eve at 6pm.

The New Year’s Concert of the Vienna Hofburg Orchestra takes place in the grand Festival Hall of the Vienna Hofburg. A unique setting for a unique concert.

Program: Johann Strauss, Josef Strauss, Franz von Suppé, Franz Lehar

Venue: Vienna Hofburg

Tickets: starting from € 70,-

The Program

The program consists of romantic waltzes, thrilling overtures and passionate polkas by the brothers Strauss and Franz von Suppé. Four renowned opera singers delight with arias, duets and quartets by Franz Lehár, Johann Strauss son and Emmerich Kálmán.

Just as Johann Strauss planned, and according to the tradition of all great Viennese orchestras, the musicians have prepared some musical jokes to delight the audience!

Hofburg Vienna – Festival Hall

The Festival hall (Festsaal) is the largest hall in the Vienna Hofburg with almost 1,000 m2.

The impressive ceiling paintings by the painter Schramm show the motto of Emperor Franz Joseph I. “Viribus Unitis” (With united forces).
Eduard Veith and Viktor Stauffer have immortalized personalities from Austrian history in the lunettes and octagon fields below.

The Festival Hall was originally planned as a throne room, but was never used in this form because the monarchy ended before its completion.
