One of the European cities that I most want to know is ViennaAnd it has always seemed to me that it has spectacular landscapes and that at a cultural level it also has a lot to offer. If you also like classical music, Vienna undoubtedly becomes an ideal destination to enjoy both it and the Opera thanks to musicians who have made history in the city such as Mozart, Strauss or the Vienna Boys' Choir.
If you go to visit Vienna and you want to enjoy the best music during your trip, the first thing you have to do is stop by any tourist office and ask for the Wien Monatsprogramm, which is a guide where you will find all the Musical shows that there are those days in the city, both concerts and operas or any other musical event. There are some events for which you will have to buy the tickets in advance, so check out the website of the Vienna tourist office to find out if any are available.
If you like classical music you can find concerts every day in almost any part of the city if you go in summer, both on the street, in churches or in some palaces. Classical music is lived there in an exciting way and people usually go to listen to it very well dressed, so take some elegant clothes so as not to clash. The Vienna Mozart Orchestra It has performances throughout the year and usually plays always in places like the State Opera, the Hoffburg Palace or the Konzerthaus.
In the Vienna State Opera You can enjoy concerts with music by great composers like Mozar, Puccini, Verdi or Wagner between the months of September and June. In the Opera House you can also listen to several, especially from the Vienna Philharmonic, who also usually gives many concerts at the Musikverien, especially between the months of October to June. In the Palffy Palace you can listen to the Waltzer Orchestra, one of the best in the city.
But without a doubt one of the best places to listen to opera is the Mozart's house, a very romantic and special place where the composer lived for many years and where various concerts are held while you enjoy an exquisite dinner. Finally, one of the great musical attractions is listening to Vienna Boys' Choir, which you can see every Sunday morning at the Hofmusickkapelle in the Hoffburg Palace during mass. If you can't go to mass, after it they perform a couple of songs for the entire audience.
