Salzburg: Sound of Music Tour (Concert Hall)

Loved this.

Not sure if I loved the fact that we were actually in the real Theatre where Adelweis was sung (yes, I couldn't get Patrick to belt out one of those tunes either).

What was also hysterical was the anorexic ballet dancer turned tour guide who did this schizophrenic tour in half german and english. She was pretty faithful to talking about the same stuff in both languages - until she got to this theatre.

For the Germans it was all about the famous operas that had been performed there, and who was planning on performing there tonight. For the Americans it was all about the Sound of Music thing. OMG, should have seen the reaction from the tour guide, when an American tourist asked whether there was a plan to put on a Sound of Music revue in order to raise money for a new roof.
