Music in Austria
There
is music everywhere in Austria. Besides the famous Vienna
Philharmonic Orchestra and the Vienna Symphony there are the equally
famous State Opera and the wonderful Volks Opera. You can enjoy
dinner shows where between courses you are treated to highly entertaining
music and dancing in traditional costume. In late July and August
there is the world renowned Salzburg Festival of Vienna (that is called
Wiener Festwochen) during the first three weeks of June. Also during
the summer and autumn there are numerous village festivals and most
sizeable villages have dances on Saturdays. Vienna has been
considered the music capital of the world for centuries. From here
came the works of Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Gluck, Haydn,
Bruckner, Wolf, Mahler, Lanner, the Strausses and other great artists.
