The Vienna Volksoper Orchestra is one of Austria's most respected and versatile ensembles, deeply rooted in the rich musical heritage of Vienna. Though primarily associated with the Vienna Volksoper, the city's major house for operetta, opera, musicals, and ballet, this orchestra also shines in symphonic contexts. Their repertoire spans a wide range of genres, but they are especially celebrated for their interpretation of works by the Waltz King, Johann Strauss II, whose music symbolizes the golden age of Viennese light music.

Over the years, the Vienna Volksoper Orchestra has expanded its discography with a selection of recordings that showcase its breadth and depth. Their album releases such as "Johann Strauss - Famous Melodies" I, II, and III, highlight their expertise in presenting the charming and buoyant melodies that Strauss composed. Furthermore, the ensemble has demonstrated its prowess in rendering classical masterpieces, evident in their recordings of Ludwig van Beethoven's symphonies and piano concertos, as well as in their interpretation of monumental works like Mozart's Requiem. The orchestra has been an ambassador of the Viennese sound, not just on the operatic stage, but also in the concert hall and in recordings, continually enchanting audiences with their rich sound and lively performances.
