Studio C, Trautsongasse 1, 1080 Vienna GUIDE FOR GUESTS STUDIO C, TRAUTSONGASSE 1, 1080 VIENNA THE PROPERTY – STUDIO C Studio C is a three-room apartment with access to a private toilet and shower and a dining area, kitchen and terrace to be shared with guests staying in the other Studios, all located on the second floor of the famous Palais Auersperg in Vienna. The rooms comprise: one room with a desk, two chairs, one coffee table, one double sofa bed and one wardrobe; one common room with a table, four chairs and one bench; one room with two separate single beds, one wardrobe, one desk, two chairs and one small coffee table. The rooms are interconnecting and cannot be locked individually. They are therefore only suitable for one group of up to four people. Due to the nature of the layout, we cannot offer Studio C to separate bookings. The bathroom and the shower room are located across the corridor from the rooms and are for the exclusive use of NARPO guests, although one has to cross the corridor which is part of the communal areas. The kitchen, dining area and terrace are shared between NARPO members and any other guests who may be staying in Studios A and B reserved for company guests. In total (Studios A, B and C) the area can accommodate a maximum of four NARPO guests and four company guests.

GUIDE FOR GUESTS STUDIO C, TRAUTSONGASSE 1, 1080 VIENNA While Studio C has been significantly modernised, it is located in the historic Palais Auersperg which was made to the standards of earlier ages.

Please note this is a shared space and may be used by residents of the other two apartments. There is a small sitting room with two armchairs and a TV to play DVD’s [no TV reception] and a further room with a large table and four chairs. Again these are shared with residents of the other two apartments. The Studio consists of a ‘bedroom’ with two single beds a wardrobe and table and two chairs, adjacent to that is a ‘dining’ room with a large table and four chairs leading into a sitting area with a large corner sofa [converts into a double bed], plenty wardrobe space and an office table and chair.

The Thermenregion is the exception, producing the best Pinot Noirs of Austria.” Frank Smulders, MW “...the dry whites...of the Thermenregion were every bit as impressive” Stuart Pigott, wine author, New York “Let’s begin in the Thermenregion … with the world’s best St. Laurent.” René Gabriel, Weinwisser magazine, Switzerland “Thermenregion is all about nuances and to experience this , one must remain quiet, open and attentive.

    WHC Nomination Documentation File Name: 1033.pdf UNESCO Region: EUROPE AND THE NORTH AMERICA __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Historic Centre of Vienna DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 16th December 2001 STATE PARTY: AUSTRIA CRITERIA: C (ii)(iv)(vi) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Report of the 25th Session of the World Heritage Committee The Committee inscribed the Historic Centre of Vienna on the World Heritage List under criteria (ii), (iv), and (vi): Criterion (ii): The urban and architectural qualities of the Historic Centre of Vienna bear outstanding witness to a continuing interchange of values throughout the second millennium. Criterion (iv): Three key periods of European cultural and political development - the Middle Ages, the Baroque period, and the Gründerzeit - are exceptionally well illustrated by the urban and architectural heritage of the Historic Centre of Vienna. Criterion (vi): Since the 16th century Vienna has been universally acknowledged to be the musical capital of Europe. While taking note of the efforts already made for the protection of the historic town of Vienna, the Committee recommended that the State Party undertake the necessary measures to review the height and volume of the proposed new development near the Stadtpark, east of the Ringstrasse, so as not to impair the visual integrity of the historic town. Furthermore, the Committee recommended that special attention be given to continuous monitoring and control of any changes to the morphology of the historic building stock. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS Vienna developed from early Celtic and Roman settlements into a Medieval and Baroque city, the capital of the Austro- Hungarian Empire. It played an essential role as a leading European music centre, from the great age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century.

  • Singer in Concert
    José Cura the Singer in Concert Then comes José Cura and the stage explodes. He’s a real professional with remarkably constant contact with the audience. The audience gave thanks with a standing ovation. Súgópéldány, February 2015 José Cura’s early years as a singer followed the normal trajectory of young, talented artists: working to acquire experience, reIining stagecraft and gaining exposure. The hustle required to “make it” in theaters and open air venues often prove over-whelming but Cura thrived under the intensity, the pressure, the public gaze. No matter the size of the crowd, he pressed on, giving his all, willing his all, to reach each member of the audience, to sell himself and his potential. The struggle to succeed strengthened his resolve and honed his instincts as an entertainer, allowing the emerging showman to gain conIidence, to burnish his charisma. Cura careened from opportunity to opportunity, from stage to stage, city to city, developing his unique style of delivery and spreading his charm, inevitably creating the trajectory needed to launch a legendary career. Recitals with reduced piano scores are a starting point in the development of a young vocalist. Cura learned quickly: performances of highlights from Cavalleria rusticana at the Teatro dell’Arca in Milan, La fanciulla del west for the Circle Dordoni in Brescia, Il trovatore at Teatro Rosetum in Milan. Cura also secured his Iirst appearance outside Italy in 1992, in Breisgau, Germany, with an evening of Italian opera favorites. Small roles in operas (Le remendado in Carmen and Il capitano dei ballestrieri in Simon Boccanegra) led to bigger roles (Albert Gregor in Il caso Makropulos, Lt Niki in Sogno di un valzer, Jan in La signorina Julie) and a Iirst recording (Le villi, live from Martina Franca).
