The boys in the courtyard of the Mozarthaus. He wrote the Marriage of Figaro there, among other great works. Tonight we watched some videos of Mozart operas on Youtube. Ben really liked Papageno from the Magic Flute...
The view from Mozart's apartment on Domgasse. The street signs on either side of the street going away read. "Blutgasse" (Blood Alley)... I don't think they were so clean in Mozart's time.
The High Altar of the Stephansdom. Very Gothic... "Ben asked, "is that where they get the term "goth"? He still hasn't learned that his father is a professor, when he asks a question, he's gonna get an answer....
You find these things all over Vienna. This one reads: Beethoven lived in the Theater an der Wien in 1803 and 1804.
Some of his works - The 3rd Symphony and the Kreutzer Sonata were composed here.
Fidelio and other works received in this Hall their World Premiere.
(Incidentally the Magic Flute was premiered in the Theater and der Wien as well...)
