At my Dad's insistence and a trade-off from the catacombs at St. Stephansdom, we headed to the Capuchin Church that houses the coffins of the Imperial family. The coffins were ornately decorated and quite beautiful, though I was a little nervous about how many people were named "Maria Anna" - a little too close for comfort for my liking.
In the evening we had tickets to Die Fledermaus, which is an operetta, but we actually saw the ballet at the Staatsoper. It was fantastic, though because we had cheap seats, they were partially obscured view and we ended up half standing/crouching to see better for most of it. It was still fantastic and a real treat. The opera house what everything you would hope and think of when thinking of a beautiful opera house, complete with red velvet curtain and live orchestra.
We had put aside some money for a nice dinner out, and given the 7pm curtain time we decided to go with a late dinner. Anthony got Weinner Schnitzel and I got a minute steak with onions, potatoes and some pickels! Our desserts and wine were fantastic as well. It was a fantastic end to the evening and a great change to my usual spaghetti routine in Coutances.
