The Wiener Philharmoniker (Vienna Philharmonic) is one of the world's top orchestras, and the Vienna Boys' Choir is received triumphantly wherever it tours, whilst the Staatsoper and Volksoper are internationally acclaimed.

Vienna can be described as a metropolis with unique charm and flair; it is the hub of the Austria’s musical life and is populated with beautiful buildings. Wander along narrow, medieval alleyways or across grand imperial squares; view the Schönbrunn Palace and the Imperial Palace (Hofburg) as you follow in the footsteps of Sissi and Emperor Franz Josef.

Staatsoper (State Opera)

The Vienna State Opera, build in 1869 in the Renaissance style, is a truly spectacular building and features a loggia on the Ringstrasse side, which defines the character of the building.

Above the main façade, two famous representations of riders were created by Ernst Julius Hähnel and erected in 1876. Hähnel is also responsible for the five bronze statues Heroism, the Songstress, Fantasy, Thalia and Love, which stand on pedestals inside the arched loggia arcade. The building is framed to the left and right by two fountains by Josef Gasser.
