We take the early morning 730am train to Kufstein in Tyrol and arrive at this pretty Alpine town before midday. A coach takes us to the modern Erl complex, where the performance starts promptly at 5pm. The superb seats Mungo bought are just in the 4th row, so we have a marvellous view and can see the players close up. And what an incredible performance, the 4 hours shoots by.
