Behind the Scenes at the Vienna Boys’ Choir
Privileged Access to a World-Famous Choir Tour the boarding school of the Wiener Sängerknaben, the Vienna Boys’ Choir, and meet some of the singers. One of the best known choirs in the world, this perfectly pitched ensemble of trebles and altos is made up of around 100 choristers between the ages of 10 and 14. Since 1948, the Palais Augarten has served as a school for the modern-day descendant of the boys’ choirs that once regaled the Viennese Court in the Middle Ages. In their day, Mozart and Bruckner performed with them, and Schubert and Haydn sang with them as youths. During your visit, enjoy Privileged Access as you tour some common areas and rehearsal rooms where the boys live and exercise their voices. Then, retire to a salon for an uplifting 30-minute private concert, after which you will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet and mingle with some choir members. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
