Full description

The Spanish Riding School has trained Lipizzaner horses in the classical art of riding for more than 450 years. In the gala performance, riders in traditional uniform guide the stallions through choreographed figures, from graceful movements to leaps above the ground, set to classical music.

The setting is the Winter Riding School inside the Hofburg, a white Baroque hall with galleries and chandeliers. Seat categories range from standing places to gallery seats.
