The concert
Pretty great concert. Very much the old style classical performance, where the lights stay up, there’s some humor, the audience participates a bit, and we do an awful lot of clapping for the Opera singers, those divas.
To be fair, the girl in the green had amazing control. All four vocalists were quite talented, which was fun.
The Mozart Egyptian piece was really quite interesting, and a couple of the polkas really had some beat to them!
I have a PDF of the program that I’ll figure out a way to attach later.

Going to see a small symphonic performance in a Viennese concert hall!

I seem to be one of the few people in Vienna who pray to the wrong end of churches, and walk into cathedrals backwards…
The organist is practicing right now. I may never leave.

I prefer the picture OF the place, rather than us IN the place…
Aside
after spending 43 hours in the same pair of clothes a shower feels really good.
on the positive side for me, it seems I’m the one most easily able to sleep on airplanes.
