Hello my darlings,
It’s Wednesday again, which means it’s time for another blog post! I’m so excited to share my latest adventures with you all from the stunning city of Vienna, Austria. This place is truly a dream for a ballerina – history, architecture, culture, and of course, some of the most elegant and majestic waltzes the world has ever known!
Before I start gushing about Vienna though, I have to tell you about how I even got here. Let me paint a picture: me, in a dreamy, blush pink tutu, stepping onto a majestic, vintage train in Paris. I had just completed a wonderful performance in the beautiful Grand Palais. A magical weekend spent twirling and delighting audiences – the best way to earn the pennies to fund my travel adventures, of course!
You see, my dear readers, the ballet world is my happy place. Every time I step onto the stage, I feel like I’m wearing a magical pink tutu that takes me to a different world. And this journey to Vienna, fuelled by my performance in Paris, is a perfect example.
My first stop in Vienna? Naturally, a trip to the Museum of Art History to be inspired by the sheer scale and beauty of the classical art and sculpture. Did I mention how fabulous I looked in my tutu against the backdrop of this grand museum? Absolutely breathtaking!
After taking in the artistry, I had to fuel my ballerina spirit. So, naturally, a stop for traditional Viennese pastries and a hot cuppa were on the agenda. And, of course, every single item was decorated in the most gorgeous pink and white hues - perfectly coordinated with my lovely tutu, darling!
My next adventure was exploring the Imperial Palace. Such a majestic structure. I even imagined myself waltzing through the Grand Staircase, a ballet of its own. And, let me tell you, the Palace Garden was so incredibly lovely, and I must confess I waltzed a few graceful steps right there, enjoying the dappled sunlight and fresh air. I almost wished I could pull a "Pretty Woman" moment and slip into an evening gown - what a fabulous evening that would be.
But wait, there’s more! As any self-respecting tutu-loving ballerina, I knew I had to visit the Vienna State Opera. I actually had a most thrilling experience, darling - a performance of ‘Swan Lake’, the most classic of all ballets, in a breathtakingly beautiful, historical theatre. I must tell you, the ballet was sensational. Every detail, from the tutus, the set, and even the beautiful chandelier - just perfection.
My Vienna journey took me through beautiful parks, along enchanting cobbled streets and cafes. Everywhere I went, I tried to find hidden beauty and elegance. And, let me tell you, my darling readers, this city definitely did not disappoint! Everywhere I went, I had an absolute ball. I even discovered an adorable little boutique selling ballet shoes – you bet I bought myself a gorgeous new pair in a lovely pink shade – just to make my trip complete!
Vienna is also a haven for music lovers. And what a perfect treat, my dear readers, than a performance by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. The sound was utterly magical - it even moved me to tears. Such talent! Vienna, you have my heart.
But no matter how captivating the city, it was time for me to hop back on a majestic train to my next exciting stop, the stunning Italian lakes. I must tell you, the Italian landscape was like stepping onto a ballet stage - every bend in the road a breathtaking choreography of scenery and beauty. And, I’m definitely already planning a ballet performance there. The energy here just begs for an expressive dance piece.
Oh, the joys of travelling as a pink-loving tutu-wearing ballerina! Each place, every city has its own energy, it's own character, waiting to be explored through the lens of a tutu and the beat of a ballerina’s heart. And with my tutu by my side, I’ll always be ready for a magical, stylish, and memorable adventure. Stay tuned for more fun, fabulousness, and adventures!
Your eternally fabulous friend,
