The Vienna Mozart Orchestra was founded in 1986 by musicians from the best and most famous Viennese orchestras and from various chamber music ensembles. The artists all shared the aim to preserve the musical tradition and the cultural heritage of Vienna by dedicating themselves to the cultivation and representation of symphonic chamber music of the Viennese Classical Period.

As the name Vienna Mozart Orchestra implies, the 30 musicians devote themselves exclusively to the works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the most accomplished representative of that period who, though born in Salzburg, found his home in Vienna. The orchestra's repertoire ranges from all of Mozart's symphonies to a great variety of his instrumental concertos (for violin, piano and wind) to arias and duets from his most famous operas.

Lovers of classical music will have the opportunity to attend a performance of the Vienna Mozart Orchestra and to immerse themselves for an evening in those former times which shaped Vienna, the capital and residence of the Habsburg Empire, as no other cultural period had ever done before: the Baroque!


The Vienna State Opera is a truly spectacular building dating from 1869. The façade is build in Renaissance arched style and the loggia on the Ringstrasse side underlines the character of the building. The two famous representations of riders over the main façade were created by Ernst Julius Hähnel and erected in 1876. Hähnel is also responsible for the five bronze statues Heroism, the Songstress, Fantasy, Thalia and Love which stand on pedestals inside the arched loggia arcade. Right and left of the house two old fountains by Josef Gasser can be seen.
