To be honest I was expecting the music to be good and the dinner to be so so. So musical performance was excellent - singers and players of very high quality. Audience participation - non singing! - was charming. Dinner however was unexpectedly really very good. We didn’t buy a wine package so bought our own on the night. Be prepared for this - the wine list is vintage with vintage prices! All in all highly recommend if you’re a music lover and enjoy good food. If you don’t like paying a lot for wine get the all inc package.

Very well organised. Dinner at the Sheraton and concert at the Mirabell marble room worthy. Do not hesitate to attend it. Congratulations to the organisers.

Beautiful concert in a magical venue. Can’t beat the price. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting.

The church is beautiful and the music inspired. I wish it was longer.

Féerie et foule, une journée bien remplie

A lovely experience that reflects the essence of Salzburg in my view
