The “Salonochester Alt Wien”, led by Professor Udo Zwoelfer, is one of the best known interpreters of classical Viennese music and manages to make the most impressive compositions by our “King of Waltz” Johann Strauss and the primary representative of Viennese music, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, even more unique. Our virtuosic musicians, excellent opera singers and enchanting ballet dancers present an evening full of Viennese charm including spirited sounds of waltz, polka, arias and duets, as well as operetta and concert solo pieces at the highest artistic level possible.
Johann Strauss (son), the “King of Waltz” outshone everybody else in the same genre. In 1844, Strauss started his career as a composer with the first and incredibly successful performance of his own orchestra in Dommayer’s Casino in Hietzing, Vienna. This was the beginning of his unprecedented triumph, which among other things, led him and his brothers Joseph and Eduard to Kursalon Wien.
Mozart and his music have fascinated people right up to the present day, like no other composer. Mozart was taught to play the violin by his mentor and teacher, his father Leopold Mozart, when he was only 3 years old. Mozart left Salzburg and came to Vienna. Despite his early death, Mozart’s oeuvre comprises more than 600 compositions, such as church music, operas, musical comedies and other dramatic works, ballet, concert arias, songs and canons, dances, symphonies, divertimenti, serenades and chamber music for various types of instrumentation, as well as concerts and sonatas.
