Music: The opera and the big concert halls in Vienna are closed during summer. In Konzerthaus and Musikverein
there are some concerts, but these are very touristy. There are other possibilities to hear nice music, though:
- On Rathausplatz movies of (mainly classical) music are displayed each evening on a hughe screen. There are
lots of small stands selling different kind of foods and drinks. See
http://www.wiener-rathausplatz.at/sommerkino.html.
- In the Church St. Rupprecht (the oldest church of Vienna, the oldest parts dating from about 1130) there are
chamber music concerts. There are evening concerts (starting at 19:30) on July 11, 12, 18, and 19, see
