Classic in the Crypt: “Le Goût Français” — Original French Baroque

About the Event

Under the direction of baroque specialist Tade Theuretzbacher, a series of selected baroque concerts has been created in the crypt of St. Peter's Church in Vienna that will make the hearts of fans of this genre beat faster.
With French repertoire, the range of these regional baroque sounds is presented with relish. A great pleasure for connoisseurs and beginners alike.
Established as Austria's smallest opera house and concert hall, the performances at the KRYPTA impress with their intensity, high quality and unusual venue. Located deep beneath Vienna's St. Peter's Church, the intimate hall offers a personal experience that attracts guests from all over the world.
The KRYPTA is at a pleasant temperature at any time of year.
