Vienna Austria is an ancient city and is full of incredible architecture that represents many eras of design perspectives, theories and orientation. It is also known for its many opera houses, which are usually located in some of these incredible buildings. Two of the composers that are most associated with Vienna opera houses are Mozart and Strauss, who have had many works produced there. The guests staying in one of the hotels Vienna Austria are likely to find themselves in a beautiful historic building and are likely going to visit one or more of the opera houses during their stay.

While Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart worked in and was famously produced in Vienna, he was born in and spent much of his life in Salzburg. He demonstrated his prodigal potential early in life and was well skilled on the violin at the age of four. He also demonstrated competency on the keyboards at a very young age and began his career as a composer at the tender age five.

Mozart had a prolific career and composed over 600 works. He was probably the most influential composer of the classical era and wrote pieces for the symphony, concertos, operas, chamber music, choral pieces and more. He was employed as a court musician in Salzburg though he was dismissed after visiting Vienna in 1781. He spent the final years of his short life working in Vienna and this is also where he produced some of his most famous works, including the opera titled The Magic Flute. It is also where he wrote the first part of the Requiem to which many legends have been attached. It was also one of his last works and the circumstances of his early death have also created much mythology and legends. Mozart met Joseph Haydn in Vienna and Haydn would later become Beethoven’s teacher.

My guests were just about to arrive for lunch and then we were going to spend the whole day at this small island off the southeast coast of Ibiza called Formentera. These guest were part of the crowd I met during the Ibiza opening parties and I was excited to have them aboard. One was a sister of an acquaintance of mine and a group of her friends. When I was around 16 years of age, she lived with us for almost a whole year. It was amazing to meet up with her and her friends last night. I suddenly have developed a crush on her and all her friends. It’s been 3 years since I’ve seen her and boy has she ever grown up and I get to be with her and her entourage aboard my yacht for an entire week!

When they all arrived, my crew gave them their security cards and showed them to their rooms all the while my chef set-up tapas out on the upper deck alfresco style dinning. Out of the group of seven (I hadn’t met the other four before), there were six girls. One of the girls brought her boyfriend. None of them have ever been on a large yacht before and all of the girls were exactly like what you would imagine when you think of girls on yachts.

All the the girls met through their interest in music and their interest in the Rockabilly scene. All of them dressed like pinup models of the 50′s and none of them ever just wear clothes. They always wear outfits or costumes based on the 50′s and they even fix there hair to match that era’s style. They even formed a group, which does shows in clubs and bars to raise funds for different charities. Naturally, they brought tons of luggage with them onto the yacht and believe it or not, most of them mailed there things here in advance to make sure they had everything they needed.

So, yes indeed, owning a yacht does have its advantages.
