One of the greatest musical geniuses of all time comes to life in Barcelona. While it is well known that Mozart was an exceptional composer, Mozart and Vienna: a magical journey through music confirms this beyond any doubt. The new immersive virtual reality experience about the genius from Salzburg can be seen at the Reial Cercle Artístic in Barcelona and tickets are on sale here.
The immersive experience about the composer shares space with a second virtual reality offering, Petra: the glory of the Nabataeans, which, after its recent success, returns to the Reial Cercle Artístic to rediscover the treasures of the Pink City in its heyday. There is the option to purchase a discounted combined ticket for both experiences.
Music in Vienna… two hundred years ago!
If you still think time travel is impossible, Mozart and Vienna will prove you wrong. In the middle of the 18th century, Mozart will open the doors to his private life, accompanying us to enjoy a day in his life, which will culminate in a concert by the genius himself. Classical Vienna becomes the perfect setting to get to know the composer firsthand, in this ideal experience to learn more about him and his great works (such as The Magic Fluteor the Turkish March, for example), while he himself transports us to the world of his time.
From the privacy of his apartment, viewers will immerse themselves in Mozart’s universe: they will travel by carriage through the composer’s favorite streets of Vienna, culminating the evening with a concert. And to finish… a surprise! You’ll have to see it with your own eyes.
Mozart, the genius beyond the myth
Although the film Amadeus may have told you part of his story, the reality of Mozart was somewhat different, perhaps less cinematic. This eccentric genius was a child prodigy who, from the age of five, was propelled into an exhausting career touring the courts of Europe. From a very young age, Mozart composed tirelessly, leaving behind an immense musical legacy despite his early death.
Mozart and Vienna, with its immersive VR experience, will give us the opportunity to get a first-hand look at the composer’s daily life through moving chairs, lots of music, and even smells!
A new era for classical music
Mozart and Vienna comes to Barcelona as a milestone in the way the public enjoys classical music. For decades, if not centuries, this genre has been seen as something distant, reserved for the few. However, this is about to change.
The experience, with its immersive virtual reality technology, will give us the opportunity to learn firsthand not only about the composer’s life, but also about his most famous scores, demonstrating that Mozart’s music remains alive despite the number of years that separate us from it.

At the Reial Cercle Artístic de Barcelona
This immersion could not have found a more suitable venue than the Reial Cercle Artístic de Barcelona. Located in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, just five minutes from Plaça Catalunya, the space occupies the historic walls of the Pignatelli Palace and the Bassols House. Walking through its rooms is in itself a journey back in time, a space that was once frequented by figures such as Picasso and Casas and which today is open to the reality of virtual reality.
