Weekly Photo Challenge: Scale

Inside the Vienna State Opera / Im Inneren der Wiener Staatsoper

Inside the Vienna State Opera – concert hall / Im Inneren der Wiener Staatsoper – Konzertsaal

This week’s photo challenge calls for a picture that depicts scale. Here’s an example of scale – isn’t the room huge? Can you see how tiny the people are in contrast? As of Tuesday the concert hall of the State Opera will be transformed within 30 hours into a ball room. Why all this? Because on Thursday evening, 12th of February, the 59th Vienna Opera Ball will take place here.

Die Weekly Photo Challenge widmet sich dem Thema Maßstab. Hier ist ein Beispiel dafür. Ist dieser Raum nicht riesig? Und die Menschen sind im Vergleich dazu winzig. Ab Dienstag wird der Konzertsaal der Staatsoper innerhalb von 30 Stunden in einen Ballsaal verwandelt. Warum? Weil am Donnerstag, 12. Februar, der 59. Wiener Opernball hier stattfinden wird.

I’ve written about the Countdown to the Opera Ball 2013, showed you some beautiful debutantes in La Vie est Belle Opera Ball, asked you last year if you could do the Left Box Turn Waltz and showed you some pictures of the Vienna State Opera. Still interested?

Ich schrieb 2013 bereits über den Countdown zum Opernball, stellte Ihnen ein paar wunderschöne Debütantinnen in La Vie est Belle – Opernball, fragte im letzten Jahr ob Sie Linkswalzer tanzen können und postet ein paar Impressionen aus der Wiener Staatsoper. Haben Sie immer noch Interesse?

Stay tuned  – there is a lot more to come about the upcoming Opera Ball in the next couple of days!

Dann bleiben Sie mir auch weiterhin gewogen – es gibt in den nächsten Tagen noch viel mehr über den bevorstehenden Opernball zu berichten!

      🙂       Ihnen allen einen sehr SCHÖNES Wochenende!      🙂

    I’ve waltzed onstage during La Traviata as a member of the chorus. Libiamo! I have difficulty walking now but the Opera Ball is certainly the stuff of dreams.

      🙂 Sounds wonderful to be part of a chorus! What happened – why do you have problems with walking? did you get hurt dancing?
      Take care and have a very HAPPY day! 🙂
