      An orchestra rehearsal in Auersperg Palace

      Sit in on an orchestral rehearsal in a Vienna palace with a musical pedigree

      Originally known as the Palais Rosenkavalier, the Baroque Palais Auersperg (Auersperg Palace) was built for a noble family early in the 18th century, and eventually became the setting of musical classes, concerts, and even significant events – like a performance of Mozart's "Idomeneo," conducted by the composer himself. Over the centuries, the Palais was used not only as a residence, ballroom and concert hall but also as offices, a film studio, and even a hiding place for Resistance members during World War II. Today, you'll sit in on a rehearsal for an orchestra performance in this historic venue.

      Tauck Exclusive – Imperial Evening at Palais Pallavicini

      Our gala Imperial Evening at a private palace in Vienna

      Built in 1784, the sumptuous Palais Pallavicini is a grand private palace in the heart of Vienna whose magnificent Baroque touches transport you to another time. Join us at the Palais for a gala evening featuring a reception, dinner and classical performances sure to sweep you off your feet... and let you experience firsthand how Europe's cultured classes lived and were entertained centuries ago. And film fans will note that the Palais and its elegant facade served as rogue Harry Lime's postwar Vienna apartment in the Cold War classic "The Third Man."

      The trip was wonderful. The two maestros were not only accomplished musicians but shared their knowledge with easy and humor.

There are no options sold – no extra charges, no hidden costs, no "surprise" expenses.

      Solo Traveler Savings

Solo Travelers enjoy special savings on all departures – no single supplement in Category 1; and on select departures in select cabins, savings of $1000 per cabin. See details on Pricing & Availability.
