LINGERING LIKE A FAVORITE MELODY, stories like the one about a five-year-old Mozart hopping onto Empress Maria Theresa’s lap and giving her a kiss accompany you to places where Europe’s great musical giants lived, composed and played... in cities including Budapest, Vienna, Salzburg, Bratislava and Prague... on a riverboat cruise along the Danube. Exclusive onboard performances, workshops and more from our “maestros” – musical experts and performers who travel with you – enhance a trip filled with Tauck Exclusives!
Stroll down a Bratislava street where both Mozart and Franz Liszt performed as kids, 60 years apart... picture Liszt at the piano in his Budapest apartment, Bartók in his 1924 home during a recital of his works, and little Mozart at his birthplace in Salzburg... feast your eyes on Beethoven’s handwritten scores while his music plays at a private dinner, tour and concert in Prague. And in Vienna, melodies follow you everywhere... at the Bösendorfer piano salon and the Musikverein... at a private performance of Mozart’s Requiem in the Karlskirche... and sitting in on an orchestral rehearsal in Auersperg Palace...
