Visit the Karlskirche for a classical concert evening and let yourself be enchanted by this unique approx. 75-minute performance. The Karlskirche was completed in 1737. Four years later, on July 28, 1741, the Venetian composer Antonio Vivaldi died in Vienna and was buried just a few meters from there. Experience a unique performance of Vivaldi's acclaimed and revolutionary masterpiece, performed by the Orchestra 1756 on period instruments in this mystical and authentic setting.

We were unable to see a show at the Vienna Opera house - even tours were unavailable while we were in town.
Viking had an optional tour/show featuring Mozart and Shubert, that by all accounts was a highlight of the visit for everyone that went - that included singing…..
But, since I like to research my own “special” events, l found a great article about Antonio Vivaldi living and composing in Vienna for years until his death, and buried beside Karl’s Church (Karlskirche). And, discovering a performance of his “4 Seasons” by the Orchestra 1756 on period instruments, and it seemed like a great evening out due to the high energy of the pieces. The absolutely breathtaking venue of the Karlskirche Baroque church made the night even more special, but the musicians were fantastically talented and the lead viola was a rock star of a performer and conductor.
We booked with Viator through TripAdvisor - booking early with the “best available” reserved seat option, which landed us in the second row where we could practically reach out and touch the musicians.!!!
What a memorable night - THE highlight of our Danube Cruise.!!!

Overall great experience enjoying Vivaldi’s Four Season. Church benches could be uncomfortable for some sitting still for a long period.

The music was as great as the location ! It's a little chilly in the church but it was well worth the shivers and they provide blankets. The group was incredible and even as a non classical lover I really enjoyed it

Lovely atmospheric concert in Vienna. Beautiful Charles Church with a wonderful Christmas Market to browse around outside beforehand. Vivaldi and Vienna what’s not to like!

Amazingly talented musicians. The church is lovely and adds to the dramatic musical atmosphere. Be warned, although blankets and a cushion is provided, it's still very cold and the benches are un comfortable. Otherwise a lovely experience

Wonderful music in a spectacular setting. Warmed seats, the complete score w no break. Only detraction was the distraction of the soloist.
