The pre-concert reception, 5.30pm-7.15pm, encapsulates the sophistication of Mozart’s Salzburg, complete with a quartet performing the composer's works. There is also finger food, wine and traditional Austrian coffee cake. £30.
Those attending the post-reception, 9.15pm-11pm, are invited to step into the world of Mozart’s 'Don Giovanni'. A Night Under The Stars recreates the party held in the ballroom of the Don’s palace at the end of Act I in the opera. £65)
