Winter Break 2025 Participant
My favorite part was the abundance of performances we got to see! There were several operas and I am so lucky to say my first opera experiences happened in this part of the world. Especially since we got to see Don Giovanni in the Estates Theater, where Mozart conducted. I like that there was diversity in the performances too, we saw My Fair Lady in German, the Magic Flute twice, orchestra concerts and another opera. It was so cool.

Winter Break 2023 Participant
I learned how to navigate a foreign country, and I learned how to be confident in my quest for knowledge! This class helped me feel like I can be curious and ask tons of questions and get meaningful responses from people that are just as passionate about the subject as I am.

Winter Break 2025 Participant
I greatly appreciated the Art Deco and Baroque architecture present in Vienna, Dresden, and Prague, alongside the cities' profound cultural histories. Among my experiences, witnessing a performance of "The Magic Flute" in Prague stands out as particularly memorable.
