Vienna boys choir performance at the muth concert hall

Enjoy the heavenly voices of the Vienna Boys' Choir at their new permanent home in Vienna, the MuTh concert hall. This don’t-miss Vienna experience will delight you as the boys sing along to the melodies of Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Strauss with the Camerata Schulz Orchestra.

The Vienna Boys’ Choir, founded in 1498 by Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I, is one of the oldest and most famous choirs in the world. Most of the 10- to 14-year-old choir members are Austrian, but boys from other countries may also be invited to join, each chosen by personal interview and audition. Over the centuries, the Vienna Boys’ Choir has worked with such famous composers as Mozart, Salieri and Bruckner. In addition, a number of famous composers were choir members themselves, including Franz Schubert and the Haydn brothers.

With such a storied history, the choir is a true Vienna icon, and you don’t want to leave the city without catching a performance! After being picked up at your hotel or meeting your host at the State Opera, you’ll be taken to Vienna’s new concert venue the MuTh, which was built for the choir and inaugurated in December 2012. Located in an area of the Augarten where imperial summer operas were performed in the 18th century, the MuTh stands next to Palais Augarten, the Baroque palace where the choir learns, lives and rehearses.

As you approach the MuTh, admire its unique ensemble of existing Baroque structures and modern architecture. Then head inside to the concert hall, which can seat 400 people. Take your seat and then sit back to enjoy the 2-hour concert.

Your evening ends at the MuTh.
