Tour details

Behind the Curtain of the City of Music

Vienna calls itself the capital of music, and the State Opera is its living room. This tour combines a guided tour of the Opera (grand staircase, tea salon, auditorium, stage when no rehearsal is on) with a walk to the people who made this city sound: Mozart in the Domgasse, Beethoven, who moved 68 times, Mahler, who ruled the Opera for ten years, and the Strauss family, who made the waltz respectable. Your own guide leads you through the Opera: as state-licensed Austria Guides we may guide through the house ourselves at the official tour times, with time for your questions.

Itinerary

3 hours, music tour: walk through the city centre (Domgasse, Figaro House, Pasqualati House, Kärntner Strasse), then the tour of the Opera at one of the official tour times, finishing on Karlsplatz or in a coffeehouse with a view of the Opera.

2 hours, State Opera: the shorter version focuses on the Opera and the tour of the house at one of the official tour times.

What it costs

Guide fee € 270 for the two-hour tour focused on the State Opera or € 350 for the three-hour music tour, in both cases plus State Opera admission per person as for the official tour (confirmed with your request).

Included: private Austria Guide, reservation of the tour slot
Excluded: State Opera admission, coffeehouse, concert tickets

Extensions

House of Music, Mozarthaus Vienna, a concert or opera evening (we advise on the programme and tell you where to get tickets), coffeehouse break.

All prices are final prices for private guests and valid for 2026. Admissions and tastings are set by the respective venues and may change at short notice. You select the add-ons in the booking request; the total is calculated there automatically.
