Also showing shots of Vienna itself, what a beautiful city.

Not so beautiful in the outskirts, but then where is - but I've always said that the centre reminds me of a German Paris. And, yes, I have the concert on....!

[puzzled54]

Is it inside the opera house?

[DTCwordfan]

yep...the upstairs gallery perversely close, the stalls full ....

I used to drive my truck to Wien nearly every week. People used to say " how lovely to drive to such a beautiful city" and I used to say "yes, I know all the industrial estates!"

[novalis]

My one unmissable programme of the year.

[Electrochem]

I have watched it every year for ages. Wonderful music and really well performed. On a pedantic note, it is held in a concert hall; not an opera hall.

I've recorded it. Is there anything that's not Straus on?

[emmie]

it wasn't all Strauss i think...

[emmie]

Better indeed was on sky arts, Andre Rieu in Maastricht great concert.

[johnk]

I'll look for that, thanks

[emmie]
