A special Viennese Christmas flavour on 30 December, with music and dance that will transport us to Imperial Vienna.

The renowned and internationally acclaimed Vienna Schloss Schoenbrunn Palace Orchestra (Vienna Schloss Schoenbrunn Orchester) together with the former Principal Soloists of the Vienna Opera Ballet, Irina Tsyymbal and Vladimir Shislov and the dance couples, will bring to the stage of the Thessaloniki Concert Hall all the charm of Imperial Vienna with the popular works of the great composers of that era, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the Strauss Dynasty, Franz Lehar. etc.

The Orchestra attaches particular importance to the Viennese style and the interpretation of the music they play, giving it a subtle and distinctive touch with their impeccable, very well-considered stage presence.

It is worth noting that since the beginning of the concerts in the Schoenbrunn Palace, their daily performances have played a very important role in the cultural and musical life of Vienna. In addition to its concerts in this famous venue, the Vienna Schloss Schoenbrunn Orchestra has been making many international tours, with the aim of familiarising the public with the unique musical heritage of Imperial Austria, so that the rest of the world could also enjoy the great composers of that time. The audience reaction to all these concerts is always very enthusiastic.

The conductor of the orchestra, Vinicius Kattah, of Brazilian origin, is a permanent partner of the Schoenbrunn Orchestra, as well as the Vienna State Opera and the Konzerthaus. He was fortunate enough to apprentice under the renowned Maestro Helmut Rilling and is considered one of the most promising conductors of the new generation of orchestra conductors.

In addition to the rich musical tradition, dance was an integral, important part of the performances in the cultural life of the Golden Age in Vienna. The two renowned former First Soloists of the Vienna Opera will perform excerpts from the well-known Mozart ballets and Strauss waltzes.
