Great party on an icy Saturday night in Vienna.

Great dancing from this group of friends
this is what I love about goa
the music, the light and the joy
flowing through one’s whole body.
Perfect moment.

Beautiful people. Nice atmosphere. Full, but not too crowded. Nothing worse than a goatrance party where there is no space to dance.

Homunculus: Wiener Küche

His show Unter dem Glassturz at Semper Depot garnered little critical praise while privately the Homunculus dancers were furious to see their talents wasted, complaining both about the action which involved a lot of standing around and lying on the floor and Bienter’s imperious manner (quite frankly standard practice in the ballet rehearsal rooms) and his refusal or inability to take advantage of their own invention and fantasy….

I’ve also spent a lot of my discretionary time in the last few months more or less successfully learning German. Finally truly learning that the only…

Saturday Night in Vienna: Staatsoper Nightbus @ 4am

This is what Saturday night at 4 in the morning in front of the Vienna Staatsoper looks like. Operagasse amd the ring is one of the main places for nightbuses to come. Many of the people out here would have come from Passage a late night discotheque created in what was an underground crosswalk. This is nice Vienna night atmosphere.

Christa Ludwig – Personal Recollections of Maria Callas

In the Eroica Hall of the Austrian Theater Museum in the Lobkowitz Palace, I was both a fortunate participant and observer of a wonderful talk given by Christa Ludwig, a former opera star about her time in the limelight together with Maria Callus.
