Over the Christmas and New Year's break my wife and I traveled to Central Europe. Munich, Vienna and Prague. As all of you know these places along with Berlin and tiny town called Salzburg are one of "THE" places of classical music.
Wife and I camped at Vienna State Opera in sub-zero temp to get a last minute ticket to "Swan Lake" on Christmas day, alas it was not to be. Couple of days later we went at the stroke of 10:00AM when the box office opens at Prague State Opera to buy the tickets for "Madame Butterfly" and ticket for Czech Philharmonic playing at Rudolfinium.

I must say it was one of the lifetime experience. Particularly the splendid Prague State Opera house and Csilla Boross' rendition of Cio-Cio San.

Next night was time for holiday music at Rudolfinium. It was primarily a mixture of Mozart, Vivaldi, Brahms and of course Dvorak.
