The Karlskirche in Vienna - "St. Karl Borromäus" - is considered the most important sacred building north of the Alps. It was constructed at the command of Emperor Charles VI starting in 1716 after the last great plague epidemic and was completed in 1737. In 1741, Antonio Vivaldi was buried directly at the Karlskirche.

Until 1918, it was an imperial patron church. Today, you can experience authentic concerts in the Karlskirche with the orchestra 1756 performing on original instruments and its soloists. Our traditional performances of Vivaldi's "4 Seasons" are now widely known for their high artistic competence and vibrant interpretation.

Experience an evening dedicated to classical music and enjoy the special ambiance of the baroque Marble Hall at Mirabell Palace. The Marble Hall was once the ballroom of the Prince Archbishop and is now considered one of the most beautiful concert halls in the world. Here, Father Leopold Mozart and his children Wolfgang and Nannerl once made music. Let yourself be enchanted by the soloists and the changing ensembles, who will captivate you with their intense and atmospheric works. Look forward to the different interpretations of the finest chamber music.

The Vienna Mozart Orchestra performs concerts in Vienna with internationally renowned singers and soloists – all dressed in magnificent historical costumes and wigs – creating a unique atmosphere in Vienna's largest and most famous concert halls such as the Musikverein and the State Opera.

Especially the selection of works conveys the feeling of experiencing an authentic concert from the Baroque era.

In the style of “Musical Academies,” as concerts were called in Vienna during Mozart's time, the Wiener Mozart Konzert features individual movements from symphonies and solo concertos as well as overtures, arias, and duets from operas, each particularly beloved and well-known pieces that delight the audience.

With the performance of the most beautiful pieces of the Strauss dynasty, the Wiener Mozart Konzert also fulfills the wishes of Strauss lovers, as they are treated among others to the world-famous waltz “On the Beautiful Blue Danube” and the “Radetzky March.”

Gery Seidl – „Eine Runde Seidl“
The Best Of Summer Special!

Now Gery Seidl has just presented his new stage program „beziehungsWEISE“ - and now comes a “Best of”? Quite simply, there is an anniversary to celebrate. In fact, it has been 15 years since his first solo program „Wegen Renovierung offen“!
Time to rest? Not at all!
Gery Seidl, now also a favorite with the audience as a film actor, is going all out and sending his favorite, best, and funniest stories back into the race. A truly noble potpourri, “Eine Runde Seidl” at its finest. Only to be experienced in the summer!

"Always something going on. Either my feet fall asleep. Or they itch. Then I can't breathe and need to walk faster. Or I have a cold sweat. Then I'm freezing again. Food doesn't taste good anymore, sex is boring, pants are too tight. What on earth is going on? - Must be all this climate change, right? Temperatures in summer are like in the tropics! Suddenly these huge insects are appearing! They didn't exist before! If they sting you, you get a bump that won't go away for months! Probably all genetically modified. And the plants! They are getting dumb too. The plants are going crazy! They're growing over everything now! Since I stopped going out. My theory is, the plants want to take control of the planet back. They are all connected underground through their roots. Worldwide! The plants have a secret plan. They want the total destruction of Western culture and Austrian folk rock-n-roll. Everything should be replaced by uh photosynthesis."

Democracy, economy, environment, hope for a better future - is everything going down the drain? 

Florian Scheuba takes a seat on the shore in his Bachwatch mission and confronts rampant apocalyptic tendencies with the defiant construction of humor dams. Many questions arise for him:
Should the "Yes, of course little pig" become the Minister of Agriculture? Does Donald Trump have a "kitchen cupboard problem" - a crack in the bowl, a loose screw, not all cups in the cupboard? Do autocrats even need to pretend to be telling the truth when they lie? And does the principle apply to perpetually neutral Austria: "One says this, another says that, we say: So, so..."? Are we truly better off if others are worse off? Is an asshole electable if it's "our asshole"? Can you still say everywhere nowadays that you can't say anything anymore? And what is satire actually allowed to do? 

Florian Scheuba counters the absurdities of the present with humor and proves that laughter is the best form of self-defense.

Dominion times! Berni Wagner is back. Once again doing slapstick with language. Verbal Jiu-Jitsu. Fine blade and so on, anyway - but it's all just self-defense, of course. Since he was told that there is also a monster lurking within him, Austria's favorite shaggy-haired comedian clings to his humor with tooth and claw. Only this way can he tame his fear long enough to set out on a quest for the monster: It must be somewhere in there - right?

Stephan Zinner "Der Teufel, das Mädchen, der Blues und ich" - Musical cabaret

Stephan Zinner has the blues. Which does not mean that he is downcast, no, quite the contrary. With the energy intrinsic to the blues, he embarks on a journey to the roots of the blues. And these roots do not lie, as many think, solely in the Mississippi Delta in the southern USA; no, they also lie in Trostberg in Upper Bavaria. Of course, there are no cotton fields there, but corn fields, and you don't meet the devil at the crossroads, but in the savings bank at the corner, and instead of bourbon, they drink Rüscherl, but the women will also drive you to despair there. The work is hard, the rich are rich, the poor are poor, and only the music can save you. So Zinner picks up the guitar and, with the support of a true tough guy named Peter Pichler, will howl the blues, preach the gospel, and dance until the devil himself becomes dizzy. Praise the Lord and rock on!

His new comedy program about the daily struggle with the ultimate opponent: one's own life.

Gernot Kulis takes life as it is – head-on. Whether in chaotic family life, on adventurous trips with quirky encounters, or in an unbalanced duel against the artificially intelligent bathroom scale – conflicts lurk everywhere, and he solves them in just one way: with humor. He just can't help himself.

Equipped with A.I. – the Kulis Intelligence – he addresses the big and small questions of his life in his new program – always ready to find a joke, even in seriousness. And as always in his unmistakable style: energetic, multi-voiced, with full body involvement, and a pace that takes your breath away.

Gernot Kulis simply can't help it.

A program about friendship, marriage, and smart household appliances that just know too much.

Roland Düringer's REGNERATIONSABEND - the high art of storytelling - is going into the third round. New stories from his varied life, told in his usual manner.

Unprepared, but deeply relaxed. Grateful for every question from the audience and, as always, speaking candidly. A cabaret evening in simple language, and if someone still doesn't understand everything, they just raise their hand as always.

PREMIERE: 14.10.2025, STADTSAAL Vienna

Press reviews:
"Loud and funny." - Der Standard

"Roland Düringer entertains his audience from the first to the last minute." - Wiener Zeitung

It's high time! A new cabaret program is needed. A new apartment. A new city? Or perhaps the countryside? Kindergarten, career, customer account? Or continue as a guest? And if so, where to? Chrissi Buchmasser is under pressure, right in the rush hour of her life. Priorities need to be set, decisions made, and the tracks for the future laid. And that now. Because she knows: At some point, the train will have left for all of us.

After her award-winning debut "Braves Kind," we meet Chrissi Buchmasser in her second program at the symbolic platform of life. With sharp insights and refreshing humor, she takes us into the world of decisions. And at full speed.

Chrissi Buchmasser (1989, Stmk): She made her cabaret debut in 2021 at the prestigious Graz Kleinkunstvogel. In October 2022, her first solo program "Braves Kind" followed. In March 2023, she received both the jury and audience award at Freistädter Frischling. She has also appeared on television shows like "Pratersterne," "Kabarett im Turm," and "Die Tafelrunde." Exclusive insider tip from Buchmasser herself: Become a fan now, before I go mainstream.

The morning exercise gives you an insight into the training work of the riders with their Lipizzaner horses. You will see both the training of the often still gray young stallions, as well as the already trained school stallions – our "white stars" – in the imperial ambiance of the baroque Winter Riding School, accompanied by classical Viennese music.



The gymnastics of the horses includes loosening exercises, refining and perfecting lessons, as well as targeted muscle strengthening. The famous school jumps, presented as part of the performances, are only sometimes seen during the morning exercise to spare the animals. Each stallion is trained according to his individual level of training, up to the High School lessons.

The Addams Family - Das Musical Musical
by Marshall Brickman, Rick Elice, and Andrew Lippa, based on characters created by Charles Addams.

The Addams Family is back!
This time in a hauntingly beautiful musical comedy show. The Addams live in their dilapidated mansion near Central Park. The neighbors attribute to them a penchant for the macabre.
They are considered quirky, eccentric, and viewed by some as monsters. When their smallest family member, "the little cold hand," runs through the front yard or when they see the son of the house playing with his guillotine in the moonlight, passersby change sides of the street.
So far, none of the Addams have cared about the gossip, but suddenly the daughter Wednesday starts to feel ashamed of her family:
Wednesday is in love with Lucas, a completely "normal" boy.
She dreads the thought of Lucas meeting her family, but the encounter cannot be avoided.
Lucas' uptight mother is right there at the door to get an impression of the people her son associates with.
With a tense crossbow and an evil smile, the Addams greet their guests and try to be "perfectly normal" for their daughter's sake for one evening.

Out of nowhere, Benedikt Mitmannsgruber has turned 30 overnight.
Surrounded by forests, cows, and farms, he reflects on the last years.

In the attic of his parents' house, he discovers a yellowing album containing a family tree.

For Benedikt Mitmannsgruber, this marks the beginning of a furious journey through his family's past and his own absurd everyday life.

The journey starts in the early 20th century in a small village on the Czech border. There, Benedikt Mitmannsgruber's great-grandparents decide to have 15 children. In the 1960s, Benedikt Mitmannsgruber's parents are born. They spend their childhood next to the Iron Curtain in the deepest Austrian province. No one really knows whether this little strip of land actually belongs to Czechia or Austria. In the 1990s, the curtain falls, and Benedikt Mitmannsgruber's parents decide to conceive a son. He is born into a world where he never quite fits in, but still loves, with all its quirky inhabitants and peculiarities.

A tribute to growing up in nowhere. A love letter to forgotten little towns. A journey into one's own past. A quirky look at our society and a world gone awry.

Benedikt Mitmannsgruber's third program "1996" is dedicated to his two parents and four grandparents, who shaped him into the Benedikt Mitmannsgruber he is today, despite a difficult upbringing at the end of the world with hardly any prospects!

Duration: 90 minutes
Director: Jürgen Marschal

In a bitterly wicked satire show, the charming shape-shifters Stachel and Grissemann change costumes at every moment and decipher, distill, and unmask meticulous psychotherapists and their pathologically prominent patients. The roles and the Rouladen must be filled and developed; now it's time for Stachel and Grissemann: Just don't lose the thread.

By and with: Christoph Grissemann and Robert Stachel

CABARET BY MARKUS HIRTLER
ALIAS ERMI-OMA

Markus Hirtler worked for more than 20 years as a nurse, nursing service manager, home director, and social manager. He created the character Ermi-Oma to raise his voice for the people who are not easily heard in our "age-disposal society."
The award-winning cabaret artist lovingly portrays the nursing home resident in a multifaceted and empathetic way.
"My goal is to promote understanding between generations and to spark a desire for a respectful coexistence." M.H.

SELF-ADMINISTERED LIVING
One can live self-administered and die self-determined, but certainly not inherit oneself.
Or can one?
By "coincidence," Ermi-Oma suddenly has a huge pile of money at her disposal. What to do? The audience gets to help decide.
A large-scale social study from Ermi-Oma's little treasure chest.

Is Fredi Jirkal now crazy or simply out of his mind? For example, his "power walking": daily for 1 ½ hours - at an average speed of 0.5 km/h - Fredi leads his new lawn robot on a leash through the garden... After that, it’s time for a break for both! How differently Fredi and the robot recharge is what Jirkal shares – along with many other quirky antics – in his latest program... As he has for many years, he is extremely authentic and simply heartwarming.
