The Show: Music, Singing, and Dancing
The Strauss Dinner Show is more than just a concert; it’s a full experience that immerses you in the cultural heritage of Vienna. The musicians, part of the Johann Strauss Philharmonie, played a selection of pieces by Johann Strauss and other famous composers. Their performance was technically brilliant and emotionally engaging.
The show included not just music but also singing and dancing, adding layers of excitement to the evening. The interactive segments with the audience made it even more enjoyable. The performers engaged with us, creating a lively and fun atmosphere. It truly felt like an authentic Viennese show, with every detail carefully crafted to deliver a high-end experience.
We were particularly impressed with the musicians, who played beautifully together, and the talented singers and dancers who brought the show to life. Notable performers included soprano Brigitta Simon and conductor Vinicius Kattah, whose leadership was impeccable. The dancers from the Wiener Royal Ballett, with choreography by Annkathrin Dehn, added elegance and flair to the performance.
The Food: A Taste of Vienna
The culinary experience was another highlight of the evening. The menu featured classic Viennese dishes that were both delicious and well-presented. We started with a flavorful beef tartar that set the tone for the rest of the meal.
The main course was a Viennese veal Schnitzel, perfectly cooked and accompanied by traditional sides. For dessert, we enjoyed Puntchkrapfen and Sacher Torte, two iconic Viennese treats. The Puntchkrapfen, with its rum-infused sponge cake and pink icing, was a delightful sweet treat, and the Sacher Torte, a rich chocolate cake with a layer of apricot jam, was the perfect end to the meal. It’s worth noting that drinks were not included in the price and were charged extra.
