Charming and beautifully concert. Music and environment were amazing! Thanks for the suggestion! We will recommend to our friends!

Music and musicians - 10/10. Excellent performance! It was a beautiful experience! The venue and staff- the bar area has only two tiny tables to stand by so there was no where to have a drink pre performance (I only learned at the intermission that drinks can be brought inside) the staff in the venue looked so bored and unwelcoming. Seats- no point in paying for ‘first class’ seats- I did and was sat in the back row on the side by the wall and I did not see anything! The chairs are extremely uncomfortable Bonus- ride up & down to the fortress included in the ticket

An awesome venue for a wonderful evening of music. I was by myself and met the people around me who we were so friendly. You can get a glass of wine before the music starts and I thought that was a nice touch. I also loved that we had time to explore the fortress before the show.

As a classical music listener I enjoyed all the pieces the team performed. I liked how professional they were and how amazing they were. I did not like my seat because I sat at the back and a pillar was in front of me. Also some of the audiences were chit chatting behind me and also kids crying. Overall I liked the Mozart pieces as well as other famous pieces.
