Well this is the reason we are all here in Vienna. For years we have watched the concert on New Years day and religiously applied for tickets. But as we were told over here, the likely hood of us actually getting some are very rare unless you are a millionaire or know a politician. We have been looking forward to this for a very long time & I feel that it might be a bit of a second rate performance. The golden hall itself is just as beautiful as it appears on the TV and also lives up to its name. The chandeliers are sparkling away and the atmosphere is electric as the musicians take to the stage. They are all dressed up in period costume. I should not have worried as it was a fantastic performance, the Orchestra and performers were top. We had very good seats well after all they were not cheap so they had better have been. We had a good view, after I had politely told the Chinese man next to me to stop leaning forward!! We were on the right hand side as you look from the stage just up in one of the boxes. If you are lucky I will tell you exactly where, when we see the concert on TV on New years day.
We were on a high so walked back to the hotel only about 10 minutes away and settled ourselves with a snifter before bed.
