Already a known musical prodigy at
the age of five, little Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart reportedly capped
a performance for Habsburg Empress Maria Theresa at Vienna’s Schönbrunn Palace by hopping onto the monarch’s lap and giving her a kiss! Stories such as that one linger like a favorite melody as Tauck’s knowledgeable musical Maestros accompany you on a riverboat cruise along the legendary Danube River – complete with exclusive onboard performances, workshops, seminars and more – to destinations where Europe’s great musical giants lived, worked, composed and played... and where their musical legacies live on. Some 60 years apart, both Mozart and Liszt performed as children on the same Bratislava street... and you’ll stroll it with your local guide. In Budapest, you’ll “see” Liszt at the piano in his apartment, and Bartók in his 1924 home as you listen to a recital of his works. Picture little Mozart again... at the beginning in Salzburg, both at his birthplace and during lunch at a centuries-old restaurant where he also dined. Feast your eyes on Beethoven’s handwritten scores as your ears delight to his music during an exclusive private tour, concert and dinner in Prague. If Europe had an official “musical capital,” it would be Vienna, where melodies follow you everywhere... behind the scenes at the Musikverein’s Bösendorfer piano salon... sitting in on a waltz rehearsal... in the house where Schubert was born and at Beethoven’s Heiligenstadt home... at a gala evening at a private palace filled with music and magic. And we’ve only begun...
