Before the Carraras-Domingo Concert

Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 31 May 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Taken at the home of Reinhard Hopperger's mother in Bad Ischl, Austria. We were headed to the Three Tenors Concert (Carraras, Domingo & a local Austrian), held on the grounds of the Kaiservilla/Summer Palace. This was one of our most memorable evenings.

I wish I could invite you to an evening of Reinhard's beautiful harp playing, which was heavenly. During out month's stay with Margarethe, within walking distance, we had toured the palace earlier. We had also enjoyed traveling in the Salzkammergut, the Tyrol and Salzburg.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog; your comments are greatly appreciated. I apologize for not getting to all of your posts. I will visit as time permits.

it's a fantastic shot for a memorable evening. Nicely presented with a nice history on the blog as well. Still praying for your successful surgery this coming week, and a speedy recovery.

Chris from South Jersey, United States

the harp is a wonderful instrument to listen to - but I would hate to have to carry it around (the guitar seems so much easier!!). Happy Sunday to you - prayers!!

@Chris: I'm so happy I don't have to carry around a harp ... and Reinhard played it so beautifully!

Wow you are both radiating, then again with the concert you're about to witness, what else could you do...You're so pretty, mademoiselle you are in my prayers always

@Lorraine: This was such a fantastic experience, Lorraine. The ticket prices were $400/USD and there was no WAY we could handle that. Reinhard's mother found them through a friend in Vienna for $40 each ... what a blessing. Thank you for your prayers! xo
