Mozarthaus Vienna Summer Concert with Museum Entry

The museum itself would have been 5 stars. Great explanation with the tour guide machine, so that you can visit the exhibition at your own pace, without have to follow an actual tour guide. Really gave a holistic perspective into Mozart’s life, works, and the life of people in his time. After the visit to the museum, I watched Amadeus the movie. I recommend you do the same: watching the movie before or after the museum visit, to get a complete experience into Mozart (the movie is partly fictional to exaggerate dramatic effects so some scenes are not factually true) However, I deducted one star because of the concert. Deducting from the admission price, as a student, I paid 27€ for the Mozarthaus concert. The pianist did not seem to have practiced enough. The violin and the cello were beautiful and professional. As a piano player, I could not help but be particularly disappointed. The venue was average, and the repertoire was a bit cliché (they played pieces like Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, The Blue Danube, The Swan by Saint-Saëns, Arabesque by Debussy, etc.). I suppose this concert is designed for tourists who had no experience at all in classical music, since the cello player keeps explaining very basic classical music concepts. I have no problem in this at all, as they are doing a great job promoting classical music to the general public, and I applaud their effort. However it was not I wanted to see when I bought the ticket. Overall, I am a long-time classical music lover and I would have loved to spend the ticket money for a legit concert in Wiener Konzerthaus or other venues. So, if you dont know anything about Classical Music, this concert in Mozarthaus may not be a bad idea. If you are looking for a nice classical concert, I would suggest to look elsewhere.

Like the Intimacy of the basement. Appreciated the commitment by the pianist to perform at historical venues.

Heel commercieel, maar - als grote bewonderaar - top om even op deze historische locatie te zijn. Jammer genoeg valt er weinig of geen authenticiteit te bespeuren. Audiogids in 13 talen, maar natuurlijk niet in het Nederlands. (Waarom toch niet?) Gelukkig was er in de kelder een recital van pianiste SoRyang waarbij werken gespeeld werden die op deze plaats werden gecomponeerd. Dit maakte het bezoek interessant.
