We decided to enjoy a truly cultural experience while in Salzburg and go to a Mozart dinner and concert. The dinner was a formal three-course affair held in the oldest restaurant in central Europe (803AD) where they claim that Mozart’s family dined. The night featured a six-piece orchestra that performed three of Mozart’s famous operas.
It was a sensational evening. The food – based on 18th century recipes – was divine, the music inspiring, and the venue truly spectacular.
The only issue was the dress code. Unfortunately ‘semi-formal’ was a stretch too great for our extremely limited wardrobes. We couldn’t quite squeeze a ball gown and suit into our backpacks.
We weren’t deterred. Daniel dressed up his jeans and filthy Chuck Taylors with a (un-ironed) collared t-shirt, while Monique donned some earrings and a scarf.
As the old (somewhat crude) saying goes…’you can’t polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter’.
We did our best to roll ourselves in glitter.
