Dinner and a Concert in Vienna
A Viennese dinner followed by Mozart or Strauss is one of the classic ways to spend an evening in the city. With us there are 649 dinner-and-concert evenings on sale, in seven different experiences — from a palace dinner at Schönbrunn to a Strauss show in the Prater, all listed above. They differ in the room, the music, the dinner and the price; this is how they compare.
“From” = the cheapest dinner-and-concert category as listed on 1 November 2026 (for the Residence Orchestra, the VIP + dinner category). Each date shows its own categories and prices. All prices include our service fee and may be above the original face value.
Choosing Your Evening
For music in a palace, Schönbrunn is the classic: dinner at the palace, then Mozart and Strauss in the Orangerie, where Mozart and Salieri met in 1786 — see the Schönbrunn Palace concerts page. The Imperial Gala at Palais Auersperg is the most affordable palace evening, with singers and ballet dancers. For a show, the Strauss Dinner Show is the liveliest choice: a full orchestra, ballet and audience participation in the Prater. For the Strauss story itself, the House of Strauss adds its museum and a concert in the family’s own 1837 hall. And for something different, the Mirage also hosts the candlelit Nuit des Lumières and the Burlesque Dinner Club.
Prefer the music without dinner? Most of these evenings also come as a concert alone — browse all classical concerts, or read our guide to Mozart concerts in Vienna.

Can dietary requirements be met?
Usually, if you ask in advance. The Strauss Dinner Show has standard, vegetarian and children’s menus and can arrange vegan or gluten-free; Palais Auersperg offers vegan, gluten-free and other options on request. Tell us when you book.
What should I wear?
There is no strict dress code at any of these evenings. Smart casual is fine; Palais Auersperg recommends elegant, occasion-appropriate dress, and the Strauss Dinner Show and the Nuit des Lumières ask for casual chic.
Which evening suits Christmas or New Year?
The Strauss Dinner Show plays through the holidays, from 19 December to 7 January at €129–279 and on New Year’s Eve at €199–499, and Schönbrunn’s dinner & concert runs nightly. Our Christmas & New Year guide covers the season day by day.
