Mozart Ensemble, Vienna
The Mozart Ensemble at Mozarthaus consists of four musicians who perform the chamber music of Austrian composers. The setting is intimate as the room only holds 100 guests and the musicians all wear period dress. It is rather like stepping into a time machine and transporting back to the time of Mozart. Although the name may make you think you will only hear Mozart compositions, the music includes all composers from the Viennese classical time period.
The room where the performance takes place is the Sala Terrena which means ground floor hall. This is also one of the oldest concert halls in the city. Mozart himself performed here. In fact he spent a couple of months living in the guest housing of the convent that is next door when first moving to Vienna. The room is an absolute overload of baroque art and is almost overwhelming. However, it is wonderfully transformative when sitting and listening to the music; it is almost like being there in the late 1700s.
As you can well imagine, tickets sell out frequently, so this might be the first venue to book when your travel plans are firm. Ticket prices range from € 39 to €50 and The Mozart House is located at Singerstrasse 7.
