The concerts are held three times a week every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from May until mid October. The program features the most famous waltz and operetta melodies by the "King of the Waltz" Johann Strauss, Franz Léhar and opera arias by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The Vienna Residence Orchestra, a traditional chamber orchestra, has dedicated itself to the authentic interpretation of Viennese classical music and performs classical concerts of the famous music of W.A. Mozart and J. Strauss in the most beautiful palaces of Vienna. The orchestra offers its guests exclusivity and tradition by intimate chamber music from the time when the artists were personally invited to present their compositions to selected audiences. Due to the exclusivity claim, those chambers were no huge concert halls, but architecturally structured to offer perfect acoustics as well as a close look at the musical facets of the interpreters from every spot within the room. With its daily series of events and interpretations of the Viennese Sound, the Vienna Residence Orchestra is a long-standing and award-winning part of the Austrian cultural scene. The orchestra is accompanied by a couple of ballet dancers and opera singers, performing in historical costumes.
