summer stock theatre @ Stockerau

The next summer event was the musical 'Victor/Victoria' at Stockerau. A classic well-performed comedy of mistaken identities. Afterwards we met KW and Doris at the local 'Veggiebraeu', a beer hall that offers only vegetarian food!

The Magic Flute

Every year an opera festival takes place at the old roman stone quarry at St. Margarethen (Burgenland). This year they performed Mozart's magic flute and we've been there. The stage design was gigantic and the catering was quite well. All operas from Mozart are long-lasting and so was this. Therfore I 'lost' some minutes in the last third – mum's the word ;-)

Weekend trip to the Eisenberg

We spent a weekend at Burgenland to slow down and relax. In the area of Eisenberg close to Deutsch-Schuetzen and the Hungarian border we booked accomodation at a nice guesthouse. The first evening we had an exquisite dinner at an exclusive restaurant called 'Wachter-Wieslers Ratschen'. The second day we did it more rustic. After a wine tasting at the local vinotheque we visited 'Pfeffers Keller' for traditional (cold) dishes and regional red wines. Later we also went to the 'Grenzlandkeller' with resident people. I had to bring a box of wine up the hill in the night - phew!
