Vienna State Opera



The Vienna State Opera is one of the premiere opera houses in the  world.  We bought tickets in February for a June performance of Don Quixote and the ballet La Sylphide.  The Orchestra of course is the Vienna Philharmonic.  The performance started at 8 PM and the dress is unbelievably over the top dressy with ladies wearing elbow length gloves and the gentlemen in tuxedos.  I had a light gray suit which I assumed would be a summer suit but at the Vienna black suits and tuxes ruled the night. Wow.

The performance was sold out but this picture was taken before the theater filled with people.
