Let's Go to Europe!

Being a professional musician as well as a therapist, I have many reasons to want to visit Austria and Vienna in particular. During the height of the classical period, Vienna boasted the likes of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, "Papa" Haydn, and Ludwig van Beethoven. Can you imagine? Of course there were many other well-known composers there too.

In 1974, my husband and I visited Vienna on two separate occasions and heard the Vienna State Opera performing "Madama Butterfly" as well as "The Flying Dutchman." They were both absolutely fabulous!

While in Vienna, we stayed at a gorgeous hotel called Hotel im Palais Schwartzenburg." I'll never forget it because not only was it an actual restored palace and had period antiques in the rooms. We even attended a chamber music concert there. More on Vienna next time!
