Hello, would anyone know to what level of formality I need to dress, when attending an orchestral performance in Vienna, Austria? I am assuming suit and tie or tux? Thank you!
Where is the performance, exactly? Vienna is a music-filled town, and the fancier the surroundings the dressier the locals can get. I wouldn't plan on a tuxedo, however, unless I were attending an opening night or a ball.
It's not that formal. Wear whatever you would wear out to dinner. When we were there, my husband wore a blazer and I wore a black knit skirt and top, all packable travel clothes but were presentable enough for the opera.
