Excerpts from the program are “Summer” from the “the Four Seasons” by Antonio Vivaldi, “a little Night Music” by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, “the Romance nr 2 in F Major” by Ludwig van Beethoven, or “the Radetzky March” by Johann Strauss.

The venue:
The performance usually takes place in the "Rosenkavalier Hall" at the Palais Auersperg, a historic Palace in the Inner City built in 1706 and located right next to Underground Station "Volkstheater".
The Palais Auersperg played a key role in Austrian and Viennese History and with its beautiful private Park and its baroque Halls it is a testimony to the old "imperial Vienna".

The Rosenkavalier Hall in the Palais Auersperg is one of the unique historical concert venues with an oval-cut Hall. In old times when classical music was performed only for those invited from the Prince it was important that every guest had a good view and that the music could be heard even without amplifiers.

Seating:
Like most of the historical concert locations in Vienna, the Rosenkavalier Hall has no numbered seats. You will be seated by the evening personnel within your category. If you booked your tickets together you will always be seated together. The evening box opens 30 minutes before the concert starts. We advise to be on time.
