OUR DAILY EVENING SCHEDULE
At 5:30, Brett Strader will rehearse those who volunteer for the chorus. The chorus will perform for us at our final banquet, singing from the beautiful balcony that overlooks the grand dinning hall.
At 6:30, we will meet for cocktails and to exchange tales of our day's adventures.
At 7:30, we will have dinner and a show.
On Wednesday, we will depart at 6:30 for a private concert in the Prince's city palace. We have invited a classical Salzburg orchestra to play for us, as well as to accompany some of our own talented performers.
On Thursday, we will leave at 6:30 to dine in the great hall of the Prince's hunting lodge. In this grand room, festooned with deer antlers we will dine and then dance to a great local folk orchestra playing dance music from 100 years ago. Brush up on your Waltzes, Landlers and Polkas.
Every Night we will have an afterglow in the palace. There's no closing time and we have several choices of spectacular rooms to chose from, so we probably will vary both the type of music and the room each night.
