Vienna

Vienna's music makes more sense with the city around it. This theme connects it with cafés and places of leisure through walks linking creativity and daily life. The focus is on spaces where people spent time together, worked or sought entertainment, and on the stories that became associated with those ways of living.

In “The Prater”: The Blue Danube flat, the theatre and the fairground connect music and entertainment on the walk towards the Prater.

In “The Opera and Vienna in 1900”: The cake and the stories of the opera place music and leisure within Vienna's artistic and urban transformations.

In “Cathedral to the Imperial Palace”: The first-time walk, told through the people who lived it and the moments they lived through: the house where Mozart received Haydn, the cathedral left with a half-finished tower, the bell cast from Ottoman cannon, the fire of 1945, the Plague Column, the writers' café and the façade that scandalised the court.
