Winter Break 2025 Participant
It was so rewarding as a music student to be able to understand exactly where the music I am actually learning in my lessons and classes came from, and the historical context surrounding why that music exists in the first place. Seeing professional operas and other productions in these historical, arts-rich cities truly has made me a better musician, student, and citizen because it expanded my perspective so much.

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.
