Vienna was the undisputed centre of musical life from the mid-18th century until the early years of the 20th. As the capital of the vast Habsburg empire, the city attracted an impressive list of composers, artists, and musicians, while its streets were adorned with grand architecture and magnificent palaces accommodating world-class art collections. We will explore the best of the city’s art galleries and museums, from Old Masters at the Kunsthistorisches Museum to the works of the Vienna Secessionists at the Leopold and the Belvedere, as well as including two performances at the splendid Vienna State Opera.
