Friday 13th – a suitably great day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brilliant evening catching a 530pm coach for the Grafenegg Festival. Proseccos in an open-air bar, loose wander on the lawn, then to the open-air concert auditorium for the opening event, Verdi’s Requiem. A cloudless sky made the evening perfect, with a gas\/cloud\/swarm of hot air balloons above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although there was no choir (covid infection), the soloists were world-class: Krassimira Stoyanova, Cl\u00e9mentine Margaine, Piotr Becza\u0142a, Rene Pape. Conductor was Yutaka Sado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier in the day we visited the Diglas cafe in Turkenschranz Park, hunted cards and shopped in Spar nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n
