Schönbrunn Concerts Cancelled Over Noise Limits

Published: 2024-11-15

The Show Factory has announced the cancellation of all open-air concerts and musicals planned for 2025 at Vienna's Schönbrunn Palace due to stringent noise regulations.

This includes the Fendrich-Musical "I Am From Austria" and the "Schönbrunn Classics" series.

The decision follows penalties for previous noise violations, making it impossible to meet the required quality standards for performances.

Ticket holders can return their tickets at the point of purchase.

Show Factory's CEO, Dieter Semmelmann, expressed hope for future discussions to find a solution that would allow events to resume in 2026. The Schönbrunn Palace Group expressed regret over the cancellations, as noise complaints have become a significant issue in Vienna, affecting other venues as well.
