It was rewarding to go to class and learn about what we would do that day, whether it was a tour or a music performance, I found it helpful to go into the experience with background knowledge. It made the experiences even better and I was able to pay attention to certain details I was expecting, but also gave me more time to just listen and absorb the content.

Getting to compare history from the perspective of two related yet also wildly different sources was really interesting. Our instructor was extremely knowledgable and had lots of fun facts to add to the material we were learning in class and on tours.

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.
