Salon Orchestra Alt-Wien

Strauss and Mozart Concerts at the Vienna Kursalon

At the very place where Johann Strauss himself directed his orchestra regularly from the position of first violin, the absolute essence of Vienna’s classical music can once again be heard every day. The Salon orchestra Alt-Wien, one of the best-known interpreters of classical Viennese music, presents together with excellent opera vocalists and enchanting ballet soloists, an evening full of Viennese charm with the cheerful sound of waltzes, polkas, arias and duets as well as operetta and piano concerto melodies.

The Kursalon, built from 1865 – 1867 in Renaissance style, is one of the most splendid buildings in Vienna. The unique flair through its setting in the City Park, right in the centre of Vienna and beside the famous golden statue of Johann Strauss is beyond compare.
