    A spectacular symphony of light, sound, and architecture

    Step into the iconic Votivkirche in Vienna for a musical journey through the creation of the universe with the "Light of Creation". This 30-minute immersive show opens with the birth of light and takes you through six distinctive acts, illustrating the emergence of land, water, and life. Experience the blend of historic architecture and cutting-edge projection technology as it transforms the church’s interior into a breathtaking canvas of light, color, and sound. Accompanying this visual spectacle is a specially composed musical score that provides a unique auditory experience, varying from gentle sounds depicting the Big Bang to powerful, solemn moments that amplify the intensity of the show.

    Pick your preference

    The Light of Creation offers two ticket categories to choose from, depending on your viewing preference. Category I seats provide an unobstructed view of the stage, while Category II seats offer a slightly restricted view. Regardless of the seating category, guests are guaranteed to be captivated by the symbiosis of modern technology and historical architecture and to leave with a profound appreciation of the universe's creation as told through the medium of light, color, and sound. The spectacle is a must-visit for anyone seeking a unique and unforgettable experience in Vienna’s historic heart.
