Tea Room

Lectures, receptions, gala dinners

This originally preserved, sumptuously furnished room in the heart of the house was originally reserved for the emperor, who used it for special occasions. To this day, the salon is used for outstanding events such as awards ceremonies and special celebrations.

The décor exudes the opulence of the imperial Ringstrasse era: the side windows of the tea salon offer a view of the ceremonial staircase, the walls of the salon are covered in yellow and gold silk bearing the emperor's monogram. The ceiling painting by Carl Madjera(Allegory of the Arts) symbolizes the interplay of the arts involved in musical theater.
