Deutschordenskloster

Deutschordenskloster Review

The most enchanting place to hear Mozart in Vienna (or probably anywhere, for that matter) is the exquisite 18th-century Sala Terrena of the Deutschordenskloster. Here, in a tiny room—it seats no more than 50 people—a bewigged chamber group offers Mozart concerts in a jewel box overrun with rococo frescoes in the Venetian style, from Thursday to Sunday. The concerts are scheduled by the nearby Mozarthaus. Said to be the oldest concert "hall" in Vienna, the Sala Terrena is part of the German Monastery, where, in 1781, Mozart worked for his despised employer, Archbishop Colloredo of Salzburg.
