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.

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.

I think future students should know that it can be exhausting, but it's totally worth it and if you push through, you won't regret it. There were a few instances I did not feel up to my usual standards, but I pushed through anyway and I am so glad I did. I would've missed some experiences to learn and soak in the environment, but also to connect with others on the trip.
