Light of Creation inVienna’s Votivkirche
Join us for an evening where light and music bring the story of creation to life.
This is not just a show. It’s an unforgettable journey that will stay with you long after the lights go dark.
Orchestral Sound
The journey is carried by a score composed by Emmy Award–winning Austrian composer Adam Lukas. His music moves from quiet and meditative to powerful and uplifting, giving emotion to every creation chapter.
Made for Everyone
This evening is for everyone. Families, couples, friends, or solo visitors all find their own moment of wonder inside the Votivkirche.
The Votivkirche After Dark
The Votivkirche is stunning by day, but at night it becomes something entirely new. Light and music transform the Gothic space into a world of wonder.
A Journey Through Creation
Creation unfolds in six chapters: galaxies ignite, oceans form, and life begins to stir. The story is told through projections that surround you in color and movement.
Vienna’s VotivkircheReimagined
Light of Creation is a 30-minute immersive show inside one of Vienna’s great neo-Gothic churches. Projections and music transform the space into a journey through the story of creation. It’s a powerful experience designed to bring you back to that fundamental story, the unfolding of the universe itself.
The church itself is part of the experience. Built in the 19th century and carefully restored in recent years, it rises with soaring spires and stained-glass windows that add to the spectacle. Its Gothic arches and intricate details provide the perfect backdrop, turning history and architecture into part of the story.

Stunning light show in an amazing venue…old gothic church. We sat at the back (row 35) and happy we did. This allows you to watch the flow from the front to the back. Simply stunning, a must do while in Vienna.
The light show at the Votive Church in Vienna was truly spectacular. I was completely mesmerized by the stunning visuals and the powerful atmosphere inside the church. One of the most impressive parts was how the show beautifully visualized the creation of the Earth — from darkness to light, from chaos to life. It felt both artistic and deeply moving. The combination of light, music, and the sacred space created a unique experience I will never forget. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Vienna!
The show was so impressive! Stunning visuals with perfectly synchronized music. The show faithfully told the creation story without a single word. The beauty and power of God and his creation were on full display; how could anyone not be moved!!
Beautiful show. I recommend it, it really deserves to be seen. It's art. Very engaging and exciting.Something new. I have seen light shows but this is really something new.
