All good things

[winter]

I'm almost done with my vacation - the train back to Warsaw is tomorrow afternoon. All in all, I think 7 days was an ample amount of time for Vienna, because I got to all the museums I wanted to, and over the past two days my feet have started to hurt a lot :)

To blog about in the next few days: photos (800 and counting), Tanz der Vampire anniversary concert, Rebecca (new musical by Kunze&Levay, starring Uwe Kroger, Wietske van Tongeren and the amazing Susan Rigvava-Dumas) and Die Fledermaus at the Volksoper. I think I can chalk this one up as a productive holiday.

Also, retroactive and advance wishes of very happy birthdays to: moustachios, artela, flamebyrd and shoiryu. Please forgive my Vienna-induced absent-mindedness!

(Oh, and met up with alighiera today for a few hours of musical geekage. And Melange and Apfelstrudel, which I'm starting to be addicted to. Can anybody tell me how to make Melange at home?)

Glad to hear about your vacation--I love travel stories.

The icon is lovely. Makes me somewhat wish I had clothes like that.

Rebecca as a musical? And they really get to set things on fire?! I´ll have to tell my mother; she loves that book/movie. How is the music for it?

The icon's from the Hungarian production of Elisabeth, the most historically realistic one. Walking through Hofburg and Schoebrunn especially was an exercise in pointing out bits of their sets :)

The music is rather lovely - it's Kunze/Levay, so of course it'd be good. I've got an English demo somewhere, with Uwe and Pia and Maya (whee!), though for the actual Austrian production they changed the girls to Wietske van Tongern as the narrator, a sweet thing with a lovely strong voice, and Susan Rigvava-Dumas as Mrs Danvers, who's a show-stopper. I'll write a full review of cast and pyrotechnics soon :)
