Full Description
Eschenbach Palace in the heart of Vienna
Eschenbach Palace (Palais Eschenbach) stands in Vienna's first district, a short walk from the Ringstrasse boulevard, the State Opera and Karlsplatz. It was inaugurated by Emperor Franz Joseph I in 1872 and built in the Palladian style to the designs of the architect Otto Thienemann, at a time when the Ring was filling up with grand buildings.
If you are wondering how to get to Eschenbach Palace, the easiest way is on foot or by metro to Karlsplatz or Museumsquartier and then a few minutes along the streets behind the Opera. The palace is compact and calm inside, which makes it a comfortable alternative to a large concert house and a good answer to the question of where to hear classical music in Vienna without a long journey.
The banquet hall and its acoustics
The concert is held in the palace's large banquet hall, which is covered from floor to ceiling in precious wood panelling and hung with tapestries. Wood and fabric soften the sound, so strings, voices and winds blend warmly, and the modern lighting and technical fittings are hidden so that the historic character of the room stays intact.
Seating is split into categories, from Category C to Category A, with a VIP option that offers the front row, the concert programme and a CD of the performance. Within a category the seats are the best available and are assigned by the box office, so you will not know your exact seat in advance. Choosing a higher category simply brings you closer to the musicians.
The programme: Strauss, Mozart and Schubert
Vienna calls itself the world capital of classical music, and this Vienna classical concert leans on the composers who made that reputation. Expect elegant waltzes and lively polkas of the Strauss family, the master of the operetta, alongside works by Mozart and Schubert, both of whom lived and worked in the city.
Between the instrumental pieces, singers take over with romantic arias and duets. The programme runs for about 80 minutes without a heavy or academic feel, which is why many visitors treat it as the best first Mozart and Strauss concert in Vienna. Start times change by date, so check availability in the booking panel.
Planning your evening at the palace
Collect your tickets at the venue box office on the day of the performance and allow a little time for the cloakroom, because backpacks and bags are not allowed in the hall. Smart casual clothes are fine; many guests dress up a little for the occasion. Evening is the best time to visit, when the historic streets around the Ring are lit.
Before or after the music, walk along the Ringstrasse to see the State Opera, the Hofburg and the museums, or stroll the old streets of the first district. The palace works well as one fixed point in a Vienna day, and the nearby metro makes it easy to reach any hotel afterwards.
