The Burgtheater Vestibule is a great place for a nightly outdoor party. When the weather is good, a large part of the party can be outside.

Leave a CommentBalet Bratislava’s premiere of Romeo and Juliet yesterday in Bratislava started the company’s performances off very well. A delighted public. Here are some photos to whet your appetite. Review to follow tomorrow.
After a long evening of work, Peter, Miska and I decided to take a drink in the rock bar next door. This is what we found.
Wandering in Bratislava a few moments this afternoon, this umbrella and her hair caught my eye.

Leave a CommentAnother good concert in the fabulous Melt series from Pazit . The Melt series in the Austellungsraum at 23 Gumpfendorferstrasse is the most vibrant concert series in Vienna now for electronic and experimental music. Pazit focuses usually on strong singer/songwriters and doesn’t really limit the series too much by genre. In the current series of concerts, there’s been real experimental, along with Falco revival Tanz Baby and even almost reggae.
Tanz Baby is a little bit kitsch with David Kleinl going somewhat over the top in his ersatz Falco persona. But like the original Falco, Tanz Baby is playful and fun. Everyone there had a great time.
Here are some photos.
The Neue Donau is the most fabulous outdoor swimming pool you can imagine.
Leave a CommentSuperb trumpet play, along with quiet mastery on the guitar. Your ears are there for Paolo Fresu but Ralph Towner makes it all possible.
I bought the Chiaroscuro CD while I was there. Surprisingly the CD is just a shadow of how Fresu and Towner play live together. This is one rare occasion where the live performance clearly outranks what the musicians can do in the studio. I guess you had to be there.
Porgy & Bess artistic director Christoph Huber was very animated after the show as well. It was one of the top five concerts I’ve ever attended there in five years.
