After freezing at the Naschmarkt we make our way to a coffee house for a treat. We have apple strudel - ranked 3rd in my listings although it was still good. Ian had a torte called molitoff which had rum & brandy in it. We had coffee which as alway is served with a glass of water and a spoon. The coffee comes in a separate little pot and are served individually on a tray to each of us.
After this and a bit warmer we take a tour of the state opera house. See later post for pictures. We are taken all around including backstage, get to hear all the history. They have a different production every night and the stage hands spend all day changing the scenery and orchestra pit. Some productions need 38 trucks to bring all the props from the store & some only take 2. Still a hell of a lot of logistics to organise everyday,
