Imperial Mélange

Baroque masterpieces played on original instruments bring the sound of the time of their creation to life and offer direct access to the music of the 17th and 18th centuries.

The selection of works in ‘Kaiserliche Melange’ makes it audible how Italian and French music has been reflected in the German-speaking world, having very different effects in a small area and leading to very different results.

Established as Austria's smallest opera and concert hall, the performances in the KRYPTA captivate audiences with their intensity, high quality, and unusual venue. Located deep beneath St. Peter's Church in Vienna, the intimate hall offers a personal experience that attracts guests from all over the world. 

The crypt is pleasantly cool at any time of year.
