Travel tip for the Amadeus-centric, Gothic, operatic or Vampyre visitor-
The best 5 euros spent in Vienna was the tour of the Opera House, given in five languages several times a day. Since opera performances are generally sold out weeks in advance, this is a way to make a pilgrimage anyway.
Independently, Armen Ra and I had both decided to take the 1 PM tour on show day, so we had a marvelous time together. We got to watch the set change to Das Rheingold, a gigantic forest, and get up close and personal with a few of the costumes on display.
Im still singing the "Queen of the Night" aria a week later.. A MUST!
