Day 151: New Year’s Eve—Die Fledermaus
Day 151 — New Year’s Eve—Die Fledermaus
31-December-1971 (Fri.)
A day filled with New Year's Eve traditions—spending all day in a standing room line, an ad-lib performance of Die Fledermaus, sneaking in champagne into the opera house (?), Kärtnerstrasse, Stephansdom Platz, and partying. Great performances. Great traditions. Too much to drink. Read More...

Day 51 — Standing room at the Staatsoper, friendly
letters

taking my mind off of the pressure of entrance exams.
Letter writing and reading is fun, especially from friends. It’s a lost art though, replaced by email, social networks, and instant messaging.
I don't get to dine with the King and Queen of Belgium, but I learn the ropes of "standing room" at the Vienna State Opera.
