Mozart everything - Salzburg, Austria
A TripAdvisor™ TripWow video of a travel blog to Salzburg, Austria by TravelPod blogger Zento. See this TripWow and more at tripwow.tripadvisor.com Mozart-everything After lunch we found our way into Gertreidegasse, a narrow pedestrian street in the heart of Salzburg’s Old Town. What makes this street special is the modern shops and boutiques such as Prada, Louis Vuitton, and Zara available in a medieval setting with the intricate wrought iron street signs ornamenting the horizon. Even McDonald's had its own stylish iron street sign with a heraldic lion holding it up. Mozart was born and lived the first years of his life in this street. His house is today naturally open for visitors so we hurried inside, also wanting to get away from the incessant rain and fierce cold. The museum was ingeniously set up showing Mozart's memorabilia including strands of hair, buttons from his coats, his first violin as a child, his old clavichord, portraits and letters to his family. The best part was the third floor where models of theatre sets from 18th century to early 29th century show the different designs and approaches that have been used to portray his operas like The Magic Flute and Don Giovanni. Being a child prodigy in the wealthy and illustrious Holy Roman Empire, Mozart was seen as miracle and paraded around the courts of Munich, Paris, London, The Hague, Zurich, Vienna and Prague. By the time he reached adulthood Mozart had attained incomparable love, adoration, wealth, honor
