All summer long there is are free outdoor film festivals in Vienna. The one at the Rathaus specializes in opera and dance films. We went last Sunday to see OperaVox, which does animated opera shorts.
Before the film, you can visit the food and drink vendors. We had both spanish and israeli food and (of course) beer. The really interesting thing is that they do NOT use disposable anything. The plates are china, the silver is real and the beer is sold in glasses. Very cool and a great example of how to be green.
We saw three animated operas, Das Rheingold, Rigoletto, and Turandot; each condensed down into 30 minutes. The best was Das Rheingold, but they were all interesting. This was one of those experiences that so often you miss when you are staying for just a few nights. How lucky we are to have had such a long time here.
