Tauck Exclusive – Imperial Evening at Palais Ferstel

Our gala Imperial Evening at a private palace in Vienna

Originally a 19th-century ornate bank and stock exchange, lovely Palais Ferstel is a grand private palace in the heart of Vienna whose magnificent early Florentine Renaissance architectural style transports 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 a European evening from another era.

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.

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