The Palais Auersperg was erected between 1706 and 1710 and is located in the Auerspergstraße in the 8th district of Vienna. What’s special about the construction, is the use of so called “hard Kaiserstein” for the pillars and ceremonial staircase, which is a very resistant and dense Leithakalk. From 1786 onward, various musical events took place in the Palais Auersperg. Some of the works, which have been performed are „Sieben Worte des Erlösers am Kreuze“ by Joseph Haydn and „Idomeneo“ by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Over the years, the owner of the Palais Auersperg changed many times, it belonged e.g. to Auersperg or Sachsen-Hildburghausen. Nowadays, the Wiener Residenzorchester, a chamber orchestra, performs on a daily basis in the Palais Auersperg. The orchestra is supported by vocal- and ballet soloists and they often perform works of the “First Viennese School”.
