Der Standard has uncovered low practices at the Vienna Mozart Orchestra, a privately owned enterprise that plays in wigs at the rented Musikverein for the benefit of unwitting tourists.
It appears that musician fees in the orchestra have been stuck at 100 Euros per concert since 2012.
The recommended minimum wage for musicians in Vienna is twice that amount.
The musicians are now getting unionised.
And Mozart? He wound up in a pauper’s grave.
