Vienna State Opera programme for next season has

NEW FOR 2009
FESTIVAL IN FOCUS
Bhutan, ‘The Land of the Thunder
Dragon’, is the last independent Himalayan kingdom, a stronghold
of Tibetan Buddhism, with a unique culture which has been protected
over centuries both by the remote mountainous terrain and by a
self-imposed policy of isolation from outside influences. In autumn,
clear skies bring superlative views of the Himalayan peaks forming the
border with Tibet and we journey to the remote Bumthang and Gangtey
provinces to witness the colourful festival celebrating the return of
the black-necked cranes.
WILDLIFE CALENDAR
As one of the highlights of our 12-day walking
tour we spend two nights in the small seaside town of Hermanus,
acknowledged as one of the best whalewatching sites in the world. A
scenic cliff path provides extraordinary views - and sound effects! -
of Southern Right whales (Eubalaena Australis) which use these clear
coastal waters as calving and nursery grounds.
