The Viennese Opera House

It's summertime here in Vienna and as to be expected, there are no operas scheduled for the months of July and August. What's available for tourists are tours to the Opera House. Marc and I just joined one and we had fun touring the premises for 40 minutes. Admission was 5 euros per person. I originally thought there weren't many people joining us for the tours. But, in 20 minutes since our arrival in the waiting room, the number of people joining the tours conducted in various languages swelled to 200 people, perhaps even more.
