Dreamt that I woke up in my apartment, realized that I had overslept, and that the concert had already begun. I was running through the streets of Vienna, trying to find the Musikverein, while naturally Holiday Flight was playing the whole time. I've had the same dream three times in the past few weeks: The concert was about to start in a few minutes, I was still at home and couldn't find my tickets. Haven't had that dream since the New Year though, fortunately. 8 hours ago, heidl said: I'm probably gonna be crying through the whole concert...

Obviously using them during the performance is forbidden. I've never seen anybody mind people taking the occasional smartphone photo of the applause. I intend to bring my DSLR and make a few quick photos of Williams then, and hope that nobody will complain. Thing is, there's a strict policy of having to leave all coats and bags at the coat check before the concert. Women can keep their handbags, but men usually aren't allowed to keep any kind of bag in my experience. So you'll probably need a woman to take the camera into the hall if you can't fit it in your pocket. Biodome and crlbrg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWMike 117 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 It's so close I can almost taste it. To think that this next time last week I wasn't going (had hoped that London might reappear) and now I am going to experience a weekend of John Williams live in person for the first time. Wow. My bank balance may have taken an unexpected hit, but in the end I couldn't let the maestro pay a visit to Europe and not be there. crlbrg and Timo Martikainen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tydirium 1,167 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 If this Vienna thing goes off without a hitch, does anyone think JW might set his sights on more European conducting appearances in the next few years? I live in the US so it's not like it affects me one way or the other, but I'm just curious if anyone else could see it happening? On the one hand this Vienna appearance seems like a bucket list sort of event. But then again, if he has a great time over there and comes back safe and sound, I wonder if he might be coaxed to go conduct others (Berlin Philharmonic, Czech Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw?). crumbs and Will 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bloody hope so! Especially with his slate cleared! Getting to Vienna safely should give him some confidence about international air travel, if he takes the correct precautions with his health. It's a long way to go just for two performances! Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthias 267 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Hi, folks! I just stumbled across this forum while searching for extended versions of the SW prequel soundtracks in anticipation of Saturday's concert. The pictures you've posted have raised my hype level through the roof! I hope we will all have a wonderful time! (I'll be squinting my eyes from the gallery ) When the Vienna Philharmonic play "normal" concerts in Vienna, they don't usually do encores. However, this is far from a "normal" concert and there also is a soloist involved, so I figure our chances at getting encores are pretty good. Best wishes from Austria, Matthias PS: Are we going to give John a standing O when he comes out or will we wait till the end?

spanosd 3 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 My personal opinion is that this was on his bucket list and it will be the last time he will be conducting an orchestra in Europe. Of course, I will be more than happy to be proven wrong! That picture with Williams sitting on the stage of Musikverein got me super excited as well. They are going to be two very special concerts, for us but also for the maestro as well. Let's give the man the standing ovation he deserves!!! toothless and Matthias 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St0rMl0rD 155 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Not sleeping much these days because of this, haha. I'm flying out tomorrow morning, my body is ready. Unreal. What's good timing to pick up the ticket from the box office, an hour or so before the concert, or is that too soon? Also, any more confirmations of the concert being video recorded? I'm sure it will be audio recorded, as Anne-Sophie confirmed that. 13 hours ago, Martinland said: Nice. By the way: Are we going to meet at Gmoakeller afterwards, St0rMl0rD? Or are you at Falco's?
