Dinner and a concert in one iconic setting

Your experience begins in the beautifully appointed dining hall where you’ll be greeted and shown to your reserved seat. Settle in as you’re served a 4-course Austrian dinner, featuring traditional dishes with options to accommodate vegetarian and child preferences. Relish signature items like handmade spinach strudel, potato dumplings with rich browned butter and decadent Austrian cakes or apple strudel for dessert, all prepared to reflect Vienna’s culinary history.

The music of Strauss comes alive

With dinner underway, the Strauss Philharmonic Orchestra takes centre stage to present well-loved waltzes and polkas, including The Blue Danube and Radetzky March. The orchestra is joined by accomplished vocalists and the acclaimed Vienna Royal Ballet, adding visual flair with choreographed pieces by Annkathrin Dehn. Emotional highlights are brought to life through Voices of Spring and Schwipslied, adding a contemporary twist to enduring classics.

Ballet and anecdotes add a personal touch
