Mozart's Vienna, 1780
This is Vienna under Emperor Joseph II, a capital of enlightened reform where court ritual and new public pleasures coexist. The walk moves from the wooded hills above the city through Augarten and the newly public Prater into the dense streets of the Innere Stadt, passing theatres, salons and masked redoutes where music, promenading and commerce meet.
34 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Vienna as it stood in 1780 (“History of Vienna”).
