What Is the Mirage Vienna Burlesque Dinner Show?

This experience is a three-hour evening showcasing a blend of burlesque, variety acts, and live music. It’s a unique way to enjoy Vienna’s lively arts scene while indulging in a gourmet meal. The show features around 20 artists each night, including international burlesque stars and imaginative circus-style acts, all hosted by Russell “The Love Muscle” Brunner. His witty, charismatic hosting adds an extra layer of entertainment, making the evening feel more like a glamorous gathering than a simple performance.
The stage is set in an elegant space with red velvet, sparkling chandeliers, and cozy proximity to the performers—think of it as an intimate cabaret setting rather than a large arena. This makes the experience feel very personal, with a clear view of every act.

What You Can Expect During the Evening

The event is carefully structured into three show segments, with each act followed by a 4-course gourmet meal served at your table. The menu boasts freshly prepared dishes including organic bread, insalata caprese, and a choice between a surf & turf or vegetarian risotto. For dessert, there’s a decadent chocolate fondant, perfect for ending on a sweet note.
The entertainment lineup is designed to surprise and delight. Expect dazzling burlesque performances, circus acts, and a vibrant live band that provides atmospheric music throughout the evening. The host’s humor and charm keep the energy lively and engaging, ensuring that even those unfamiliar with burlesque might find themselves clapping along.
The Setting and Atmosphere

The Mirage’s interior is all about glamour and intimacy. Red velvet drapes, polished wood paneling, and glittering chandeliers create an elegant backdrop that feels exclusive but welcoming. It’s ideal for a romantic date, a bachelorette celebration, or simply a night out with friends seeking something a little different.
This setting removes the typical “crowd” feeling, giving you a sense of proximity to the performers—something many reviews rave about. As one reviewer noted, the service is excellent, with no queues or rushing, which adds to the relaxed, upscale vibe of the evening.
Is It Worth the Price?

At $90 per person, the experience is on the higher end of Vienna’s entertainment options, but you’re paying for more than just the show. The 4-course meal is freshly prepared and can cater to dietary needs if specified when booking. The bottle of sparkling wine in the VIP category adds extra luxury.
Reviewers like Bilyana praised the delicious food and varied program, and Geoff mentioned that the drinks prices are reasonable given the setting. When you consider that you’re getting a full three-hour entertainment with a gourmet meal and excellent service, the value starts to look pretty good—especially if you’re after something special and memorable.
