Ah, what memories. In 1971, I was a young music student in Vienna for a year. WIth friends, I saw over 50 operas that year in the Vienna State Opera, and a few in the Volksoper as well. I also attended over 50 concerts, many in the Musikverein with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.. There was a standing room ritual, where we slowly walked up the stairs, following an usher, to the two top tiers for stnading room-then you would make a fast break to find your place. A story I like to tell, is that there was always an elderly woman sitting in her standing room place with a small light and musical score. I was told that she was (I think) an acquaintance or mistress of Gustav Mahler. Vienna is a magical city with a musical culture that is unrivaled.
Thank you, Desiree and all of the Vienna group that produces the Vienna Now videos. They are wonderful promotions for one of the most beautiful and cultural cities in the world. Thank you, all.
