Extended information:

The Vienna Golden Hall is not an independent building, but the largest of the many concert halls in the Vienna Music Friends Association building. Its official name is the Concert Hall.

Because the interior decoration is mainly gold, it was nicknamed the Golden Hall. This is the perennial performance venue of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. The Vienna New Year Concert presented by the orchestra is held here every year. As the influence of the concert expands, it is held here.

This splendid hall has also increased its popularity through television broadcasts. In 1998, the China National Traditional Orchestra successfully held the Chinese New Year Concert here, becoming the first Chinese music group to appear on this stage.

The name of the Golden Hall has slowly entered the Chinese people’s horizons since then. By now, the name has become widely circulated and is even used by the Vienna Music Society on its Chinese website.

Locals know very well that the Golden Hall operates according to a commercial model, which is far from the palace in the minds of the Chinese. Under the management of the Vienna Music Friends Association, this is just a paid event venue for musicians and music lovers to compete in skills and show themselves.

As long as the venue rent is paid, anyone can enjoy the right to rehearse and perform in the Golden Hall, regardless of musical literacy. It’s no wonder that the performances of Chinese groups and individuals on the Golden Hall stage vary widely.

Some of the artistic standards are extremely high, enough to impress experienced foreign audiences; others are really unflattering, forcing the usually reserved Austrians to desert midway.

After all, for some Chinese people with deep pockets, the basic hall rental fee of 20,000 to 30,000 euros is not out of reach. What's more, if the purpose is for speculation, compared to receiving training or packaging in China, the cost-effectiveness of being on the stage of the Golden Hall for gold plating is higher.

As a result, there are professional actors who perform on stage at their own expense or through sponsorship, there are music groups who raise funds to come and perform, and there are now situations where amateur music lovers and even vacationing students and traveling elderly people chip in to perform on stage. Or it may be a performance where people in the business world spend money to realize their dreams for themselves or their relatives and friends.

In recent years, Chinese people have become even more enthusiastic about appearing in the Golden Hall. According to statistics, from January to mid-August this year, various domestic groups rented 27 venues in the Golden Hall ***, and at least 133 schools and groups participated in various concerts and performances held here.
