The Festsaal at the Hofburg ranks among the most magnificent concert halls in Europe and is a truly worthy setting for the Wiener Mozart Konzert. Nestled in the historic heart of Vienna, surrounded by imperial splendour and centuries of history, the Festsaal offers an extraordinary backdrop for an authentic classical music experience. During Mozart’s lifetime, the Hofburg was the very centre of Viennese musical life – Emperor Joseph II, one of Mozart’s greatest patrons, received the composer here and opened the doors of the city’s highest social circles to him.
Today, those who take their seats in the Festsaal step into an atmosphere that Mozart himself knew and cherished – and experience his music in the place where it was always meant to be heard.
