Our last night in Vienna, in an ornate baroque hall, we attended a Mozart concert with a chamber orchestra and two singers, all in period drees, performing arias from some of Mozart's operas.
The following morning, we went to mass at a small chapel in the Hapsburg Palace where the Vienna Boys' Choir sing. It was truly a memorable experience hearing those lovely voices in such a setting. The choir is out of sight in a loft three levels above the floor, but at the end of the service they come down and sing once more for the the guests. It was unbelievable to see how such a small group, about a dozen boys and some so very young, could produce the magnificent sounds we just heard.
