Mozart Dinner Concert in Salzburg at St. Peter Stiftskulinarium: candlelight 3-course meal and live, period-costumed Mozart performances.
“The music - both the instrumentalists and the two singers - were excellent and the programme delightful, performed with grace and good humour.

“There is a lot of walking in a lot of stairs, which was not explained in the tor information We had VIP tickets, but did not get the premier seating on the boat nor a free drink on the boat like other people Only included the free drink at the concert - which is not worth the VIP extra”
3-course dinner at Sheraton Mirabell, then chamber music in Mirabell Palace Marble Hall. Polished 4-hour Salzburg evening.
“Everything was wonderful except the dinner itself. The setting was lovely, the service excellent, but my main course (fish) was very undercooked. The server was apologetic, and they gave us a small discount on the bill (didn't charge us for sparkling water), but it was a disappointment. Otherwise, the concert - and the experience overall - was very nice.”

A 75-minute classical concert in Salzburg’s Mirabell Palace Church, featuring Mozart and more, with flexible start times and easy entry.

Chamber music in Mozart’s Salzburg Residence at DomQuartier Salzburg. 45 minutes, changing ensembles, weekends at 4 pm. From $32.
“We did enjoy it. Our family (late teen girls) is not overly musical so their was just enough to appreciate Mozart. The first movements played we didn't know but the second we did which was great. The violin was excellent and it was interesting to learn about the uniqueness of the piano, but the second song although well known was piano only. It would have been great to either have 2 well known Mozart pieces, or 2 pieces that compliemented both instruments. We're dropping the rating also as the tour image has 5 performers but we only had 2, well 1 1/2 acutally. Just made it seem our dates (mid…”
