Hello, my dearest tutu-loving friends! It's Wednesday again, which means it's time for another Pink Tutu Vienna post! And this week, I'm bubbling over with excitement, ready to share my adventures from a simply sparkling few days in the heart of Vienna.
This magical city has always held a special place in my heart, with its history of music, waltzes, and – oh yes! – some of the most incredible tutus in history! (Have I ever told you about the tutus worn by the Vienna Opera Ballet in the 19th century? Swoon.)
Now, as a self-proclaimed tutu enthusiast, a trip to Vienna isn’t complete without a visit to the Vienna State Opera. You simply cannot walk through those majestic doors, marvel at the gilded splendour, and not feel the enchantment of a world-class ballet. It’s simply spellbinding. And let me tell you, this time, I saw something truly breathtaking: “Giselle” with the stunning Vienna State Opera Ballet.
The opening scene, with its sweeping melodies and billowing tutus, transported me back in time. I felt like I was standing in a painting, the whole world painted in shades of pink and gold. It's so incredible how music and movement can make you feel like you’re floating on air, like your feet have barely touched the ground. (And those costumes? They practically screamed 'Pink Tutu Vienna'!).
Speaking of floating on air, after the show, I couldn't resist a little indulgence: A horse-drawn carriage ride through the heart of Vienna. The clopping of horses' hooves on cobblestones, the smell of the old city, the beautiful architecture… It was truly magical. The horses were so elegant, with their shining coats and flowing manes, I practically felt like I'd stepped back in time into a fairytale.
Speaking of magical moments, let me tell you about the sheer delight of stumbling upon a beautiful little boutique. Inside, they had the most divine collection of pink hats and feather boas, each one more exquisite than the last! And I found this gorgeous, silky, bubblegum-pink scarf. Imagine: a pale pink scarf wrapped around my neck, complementing my pink tutu and topped off with a whimsical, feathered pink hat! Pure joy!
My travels this week, like always, were a delightful mix of waltzes, shopping, and some seriously exquisite performances. I truly believe everyone should experience the magic of Vienna. It's a city where dreams take flight – literally, if you're a ballerina! – and a place where pink tutus truly belong.
Speaking of which, my dear friends, don't forget: the world is waiting for your pink tutus! Let's make every day a little more whimsical, a little more vibrant, and a little more Pink Tutu.
Stay tuned for my next Pink Tutu Vienna post! Until then, stay fabulous!
Lots of pink and sparkly love,
Emma
