General Information

The ground area of St. Stephen's Cathedral is about 3,000 m² and the enormous room height promotes good air circulation. This guarantees that you can enjoy the concerts carefree and in compliance with all COVID-19 protective measures.

A COVID-19 prevention concept has been created for the concerts, which describes measures to minimize the risk of infection, and we have appointed a COVID-19 officer who is responsible for the implementation of the COVID-19 prevention concept. Our COVID-19 prevention concept ist always adapted to the latest laws and approved by the relevant authorities.

Our trained stewards will ensure that appropriate distances are maintained in the audience.
