Vienna Day 1 - Evening

My wife and I left Red Dog at the hotel and went to a concer tby the Vienna Residence Orchestra. (Remember the young man selling tickets in the square?)

This is a group of musicians that do nightly concerts featuring Mozart and Strauss. The works they play are a mixed bag including instrumentals, opera and ballet. They play in several historical buildings in Vienna. This night was in Auersperg palace. The venue was intimate. We had mid range tickets but everyone is close to the stage. The concert was just long enough to be interesting but not so long that your butt began to hurt.

Here's a sample.
