MAIN CONCERT LOCATIONS:
Palais Auersperg
Auerspergstrasse 1
A-1080 Vienna

The Rosenkavalier Palace - it stands - just as one would expect - in Vienna, and bears exactly the same name as on 8th October 1777:
Palais Auersperg (Auersperg Palace).
On that day it was purchased by Prince Johann Adam Auersperg, some 50 years after it had been built by master builder Giovanni Christiano Neupauer, according to plans by the legendary Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. The original owner was a certain Hieronymus Capece de Rofrano who´s name immediately transports us into Richard Strauss´ opera "Der Rosenkavalier" (The Cavalier of the Rose)! Octavian de Rofrano, the cavalier at the court of the great Austrian Empress Maria Theresia, the gallant suitor with the silver rose, actually existed!
In the house of the Rofranos, money was of no object. Everything was of the highest quality – especially the music. In fact, the palace itself was, to quote one of its most famous visitors, “one of the most beautiful chords in the symphony ‘Vienna’”. Since this visitor was no other than the great Robert Stolz, it has to be admitted that this opinion came from a competent judge. Music was always the invisible hub of the palace, long before Richard Strauss wrote his opera with a Rofrano as the hero.


Palais Wiener Börse (Vienna Stock Exchange)
Wipplingerstrasse 34
A-1010 Vienna

When Vienna’s Ringstrasse was erected in place of the old city walls, the Vienna Stock Exchange found a new home in one of the monumental buildings along this unique city boulevard. The building was designed by the father of historicism, Baron Theophil von Hansen, and was built during the years 1870 through 1877 in the typical Viennese style with the clean, austere lines of the Renaissance.


Wiener Konzerthaus
Lothringerstasse 20
A-1030 Vienna

In 1890, the first ideas for a “Haus für Musikfeste” (House for music festivals) came about. The idea of the new multi-purpose building was to be more interesting to the broader public than the traditional Vienna Musikverein. In addition to the concert hall, the first drawings by Ludwig Baumann for the Olympion included an ice-skating area and a bicycle club. In an attached open air area, 40,000 visitors would be able to attend events. The drawings were not accepted. However, today an ice skating area is situated right next to the building.
The Konzerthaus was finally built between 1911 and 1913. The building is about 70×40 meters and had originally three halls (“Großer Saal”, “Mozart-Saal” and “Schubert-Saal”), in which there can be simultaneous concerts, since they are sound-proofed.
