Salzburg · MOZART CONCERTS & CLASSICAL MUSIC
26 reviewed
In Mozart’s home town you can hear him almost every night, and the setting matters as much as the programme. These are the best Mozart concerts and classical recitals in Salzburg: the Mirabell marble hall, the fortress dinner concerts, the cathedral organ at midday. What each includes, how long it runs, and what a seat costs.
Hear Mozart-style chamber music in Mirabell Palace’s Marble Hall. 90 minutes, live and unplugged, with standout acoustics for $49.
“Great experience - musicians were wonderful! Also a guitarist was part of the ensemble which was unexpected but made the selections played even more wonderful! Definitely recommend.”

“We had a great tour by June who made the tour into what we wanted as we we interested in different things and as the weather changed we found some different places to go. June also suggested some great places for photos and where to go afterwards. Very interesting history and ask her to sing for you !!! Don’t forget to ask about the turtles 😃”
Candlelit Mozart dinner in Salzburg at St. Peter Stiftskulinarium: 3-course historical menu plus live opera singers in a Baroque hall.
“Wonderful evening! Very talented musicians, singers and entertainers. The food was very good and traditional recipes for the area. My only complaint was that we had to pay for our water with the meal. I understand alcohol being extra, but water? Despite that, we thoroughly enjoyed the evening! Beautiful setting.”

“Dinner was definitely lacking in taste. Felt the turkey roll was bland the soup was bland. Took two hours to serve soup, maincourse and dessert. Would hv liked better food for the proce paid per ticket. Concert was lovely. Would not do this again”
Hear a Mozart recital in Salzburg’s Marble Hall of Mirabell Palace. Period instruments, superb acoustics, and baroque views in 1h45.
“The musicians were fantastic! I liked how their entire bodies moved in rhythm with the music as they played. And, they communicated with their facial expressions throughout the performance. And, the guest cellist was especially good. The Mirabelle castle and the Marble ballroom seemed a perfect backdrop for the music especially since Mozart had performed there in the past. Although there are numerous performances of Mozart music around Salzburg, I'm glad that I chose this one as it was, to me, at the perfect location. And, although the performance was just under 2 hours, the time flew and I would definitely attend again if I'm ever in Salzburg again.”

Mozart Dinner Concert in Salzburg pairs live opera arias with a 3-course 1700s-style meal at St. Peter, one of Europe’s oldest restaurants.
“Mozart’s greatest hits: Papageno, Catalog aria, a couple of arias from Figaro and Don Giovanni. Overtures from Figaro and Nachtmusik. Songs you’ve heard dozens of times. But it’s still Mozart, so what’s not to like? Performers had nice voices. Dinner was ok (chicken was good, soup had no taste.) A little overpriced, but a fun couple of hours overall. I recommend checking it out if you’re in Salzburg.”
