Mozart and Strauss in Vienna

Day 12 (cont.) - Here is Joe's take on the concert he attended in Vienna. He said it was fantastic, such accomplished musicians, intimate setting. It was an eleven piece chamber orchestra. The lead violinist played with an instrument that was made before Mozart was born. It was a two part concert with Mozart music first, and then Strauss music after a short intermission. They got an introduction to opera and ballet, with arias and duets, dancing on the stage by two performers. Perfect acoustics. Totally worth it!
