Hello darlings! It's Emma from Pink Tutu Vienna, and this week I'm dancing my way through the magnificent metropolis of Vienna! 🩰✨ This gorgeous city has captured my heart with its imperial grandeur, charming coffee houses, and - oh, my dears, the ballet! 🤩 From the soaring heights of the Vienna State Opera House to the intimate beauty of the Volksoper, I'm utterly bewitched by the Viennese ballet scene.

This week's adventures have been pure Parisian-inspired elegance and waltzing through history. It's like a fairytale come to life! And guess what? My pink tutu is absolutely thriving amidst the majestic buildings and beautiful people. Honestly, it's like it was designed for this very city. 🎀

So, what's been keeping me on my toes? Well, let's take a peek into my week in Vienna!

I landed in Vienna this morning feeling as fabulous as a freshly-spun tulle petticoat! First order of business - a delightful coffee and Sachertorte (oh, the divine chocolate!) at a little cafe called "Sacher Eck." Then, it was straight off to the Vienna State Opera House for an afternoon rehearsal of "Swan Lake" - I mean, the sheer drama! The dancers were effortless with their movements, and I swear I could feel the power radiating from the stage. My heart soared. It was like being swept up in a beautiful dream. 🥰

The afternoon was spent exploring the Museum of Applied Arts - Vienna's artistic crown jewel! From opulent glassware to breathtaking fashion designs, I felt my senses tingling with the artistic energy! You just know when a space has been steeped in history. And speaking of history, wouldn't you know it - I stumbled upon the cutest little vintage clothing store - a haven for a girl like me! A few hours and a delightful vintage broach later (matching my pink tutu, obviously) I emerged a happy bunny with a fab new statement piece. ✨

Now, who doesn't love a good carriage ride? Not this Pink Tutu princess! A Kutschfahrt - Vienna's classic carriage tour - whisked me through the city's most enchanting streets, allowing me to admire the elegant architecture in all its glory. It felt truly regal! 👑

The evening brought the magic of the Vienna Volksoper! A delightful rendition of "The Nutcracker" - oh, the artistry, the beauty! It was everything I'd hoped for and more. I even managed to chat with a few fellow ballet aficionados afterwards - true kindred spirits. And then, there was the glorious Viennese Schnitzel dinner - just what the ballerina in me needed after a full day of enchanting experiences. 🤩

Ah, Vienna! The city that always makes you feel like a princess. And guess what? The Palais Liechtenstein - an absolute palace - had me dreaming with its dazzling displays of opulence. You just get the sense of royalty when you're there, and the grandeur is astounding. I felt utterly inspired. 💖

This afternoon, a whimsical walk through the beautiful Schönbrunn Palace gardens with a gentle breeze tickling my pink tutu's tulle. It's truly a * fairytale land*. And to add to the magic, the day culminated in an intimate performance at a smaller ballet studio - "BallettAtelier Vienna". It was a delightful showcase of fresh talent, and I felt so lucky to see the future of ballet right before my eyes. 🩰

Shopping in Vienna! Oh my dears, it's a delightful adventure! A day of decadent browsing for the perfect pair of sparkly shoes - a necessity for any Pink Tutu fan. You wouldn't believe the number of dazzling shoes in Vienna - a veritable ballet shoe heaven. 👠 I finally found the perfect pink sparkly flats to complement my favourite tulle - it was meant to be! 💃

As for the evening? Oh, the Vienna Philharmonic! My heart practically skipped a beat as I entered the grand Musikverein! The ambiance - electric. The music - captivating. It was an orchestra so harmonious, you'd swear the music was breathing! I left the concert feeling like I'd touched a little bit of musical magic.✨

The perfect day for a final Vienna waltz! You can't leave this magical city without a graceful glide around its beautiful squares - with a pink tutu, of course! There is a captivating romanticism here. With a tear in my eye and a bounce in my step, I took in one last view of Vienna's stunning architecture. This enchanting city has a piece of my heart forever! 💖

As the train carried me away from Vienna, I sat pondering the magical memories of my adventures. It wasn't just the gorgeous city and its history. It was the kindness of the people, the captivating artistry, the decadent delicacies. Everything in Vienna inspires, and every corner seems to whisper a tale of a bygone era. And of course, I'm already thinking about how I can make my next visit even more magical - perhaps with a pink tutu adorned with sequins and pearls for the Viennese Ball?

It’s all just another day in the life of the Pink Tutu princess, and my adventure continues in the upcoming weeks, dear readers. Join me on www.pink-tutu.com every Wednesday for new adventures!

Love, Emma Pink Tutu Vienna
