Konzerte der Wiener Royal Orchester

Sala concerti molto curata, dove il dress code non è un problema. Abbiamo acquistato ai mercatini di Natale in piazza Maria Teresa i biglietti (a prezzi accessibilissimi) per un concerto di pre Capodanno. Si trattava di circa due ore di estratti dà arie di diversi compositori austriaci. Super apprezzato, anche se non con orchestra completa.

Hatte das Vergnügen, ihr Silvester Kammerkonzert zu sehen. Wunderbare Aufführung, eine der denkwürdigsten, die ich je hatte - sie spielten ein paar bekannte Werke, ein paar Nischenwerke und auch einige zeitgenössische. Die Musiker waren geschickt und lebhaft, und viele ihrer Auftritte beinhalteten Publikumsbeteiligung. Irgendwann sangen alle im Saal gemeinsam Last Christmas by Wham. Veranstaltungsort ist auch sehr schön. Unglaublich lustig! Vielen Dank für eine so wunderbare Erfahrung! Sehr zu empfehlen.

While the music and performances from the dancers and singers was truly amazing and the conductor did a great job of engaging the crowd, the venue doesn't seem to suit this type of show. We read through some reviews indicating that seating didn't really make a difference but it truly does. We switched to this concert last min due to a late arriving flight the previous morning so there were only a few seats left available in the last few row. The stage cannot be more than 2 feet off the ground and the performers are nearly impossible to view from the rear of the room. I can't imagine anyone past rows 5/6 could clearly see all of the performers at all times. Those sitting up top not too close to the first rows also had prime viewing opportunities but the rest of us spent the concert with our heads peaking between the heads in front of us. A simple raised stage or a few risers for the singer would go a long way. The venue itself is stunning and you are able to capture photos before and after the concert but even then you have to stand or hover your camera high above the crowd for an unobstructed view.
