I would have given this a 5-star rating if it weren't for the venue. The High School students did a phenomenal job playing the classical songs. However, the venue was very unorganized for entering the church and the placement of the students performing was not optimal. They had the performance on the front right-hand side of the church, which made it difficult for 90% of the audience to hear and view. We thought the performance would have been in the center of the church, but apparently not.

It's the busiest Church and arriving early, as suggested, by 40 minutes didn't really help. Lots of pushing and shoving and waves of people trying to get poll position. When you get in to church, you will be fenced off and not allowed to walk to your seating (which, by the way isn't numbered. It's banded in to categories A and B)
Imagine... a few hundred people caged at the back of the church until you're allowed through the gates they've put up. We were squashed and pressing up against each other, holding on to the gate bars, akin to a prison stay.
Finally seated after a competitive stampede to the front...chaotically, selfishly, unromantically and stressfully.
Hopefully, when the quartet begins, the cortisol levels will begin to dissipate. Something different starts to happen that I haven't seen in any other recital I've attended. A band of smartly dressed young youths with brass instruments are filling the front pews. Wow, I'm thinking. A quartet with a surrounding orchestra. This is going to be special. They all look so young...
I looked down at the paper subconsciously given to me before the charge to Category A, to read which pieces are being played by the fabulous foursome. And there it was. Top title "High School Orchestra". No professional quartet, like the other churches and no forewarning from TripAdvisor.
The children played and presented well. Front rows seemed to be reserved for their proud parents. Sadly, not even close to the professional quartets we'd listened to in the days prior. We left after 3 pieces as we felt, from arrival until departure, the evening was a misleading shamble.
I don't know if this a one off but it was a stressful, disappointing evening and 100% waste of money. Best recital, for us anyway, was St.Peter's. Less people, beautiful church, entertaining professional quartet.

Really it is not what I expected. Overpriced for what I got. For the price of my ticket I can go to the NY philharmonic at Lincoln Center The camera orchestra it is sell as a big one. And it’s not. Only the second part of the performance save the night

We bought our tickets to the concert in St Stephen Cathedral a few weeks prior to our arrival to Vienna through Viator. On the night before the concert we got an email from Viator that our tickets are cancelled. We first thought that the concert is cancelled so we asked the concierge at the hotel to find out. Well, not only the concert was not canceled, it was sold out!! We went all the way to Vienna and thanks to Viator we could not see the concert. This was totally unacceptable because we were there for only a few nights and if you don’t buy your tickets ahead of time all those concerts are sold out so you would not be able to attend any!

The musicians were talented, performing in a stunning setting, but our seats were very far back and it was hard to see much on the small projector sceen. It was also freezing in December!
Top tip: Dress for outside temperatures!
Would not recommend for everyone. More serious music lovers would probably enjoy.

Concert was excellent, but Cathedral very cold. Should have more information on web site as to how to find best seating and more information on facility and program.

It was a lovely Christmas experience however the ticketing arrangements at the location were very disappointing. At one stage we were told that since we had no seat number our booking was invalid and we would not be admitted and to seek a refund. Eventually , my booking was located and we were admitted .
