Wiener Hofburg Orchester - Silvester Konzert in der Wiener Hofburg
Celebrate the end of the year with the Vienna Hofburg Orchestra’s New Year’s Eve concert in the Hofburg Festival Hall. The program centres on waltzes, overtures and polkas, alongside operetta arias, duets and quartets. It is a concert performance on 31 December; the listing does not turn it into a dinner, ball or midnight party.
The Vienna Hofburg Orchestra performs with four vocal soloists, combining orchestral music with arias and vocal ensembles. The repertoire draws on the Viennese tradition of waltzes, polkas and operetta, including music by the Strauss family, Franz Lehár and Emmerich Kálmán. The setting is the Hofburg Festival Hall, a monumental hall of almost 1,000 square metres with ceiling paintings bearing Emperor Franz Joseph’s motto, Viribus Unitis. The pieces listed below come from an illustrative program: they are not a guarantee of the running order or individual performers on your date.
