  1. Space Waltz: ESA to put Strauss among the stars on his 200th birthday.

    The Danube Waltz, despite its seminal appearance in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, was left out of the 'Golden Records' attached to the Voyager probes in the 1970s.

    The city of Vienna, with the help of the European Space Agency, is correcting the mistake in 2025.

  3. Kurz vor dem Beginn des 200 Jahr-Jubiläums besuchte ich heute das Denkmal des #Walzerkönigs #JohannStrauss im #Wiener Stadtpark und freue mich auf den #Donauwalzer zum Jahreswechsel. #writerslife

  4. Perplexity just gave me a list of Viennese operettas that have been translated into English! Several are from Johann Strauss, whom I've been wanting to hear anyway, and I even found two more by Franz Lehar! I already knew about and had The Merry Widow and Die Fledermaus. The first I watched ((but still need to watch the Christopher Hassall translation) and the second I was actually planning to watch tomorrow. This is the full list as it was given to me.

    "1. The Gypsy Baron (Der Zigeunerbaron) by Johann Strauss II
    2. A Night in Venice (Eine Nacht in Venedig) by Johann Strauss II
    3. The Queen's Lace Handkerchief (Das Spitzentuch der Königin) by Johann Strauss II
    4. Wiener Blut (Vienna Blood) by Johann Strauss II
    5. The Circus Princess (Die Zirkusprinzessin) by Emmerich Kálmán
    6. Countess Maritza (Gräfin Mariza) by Emmerich Kálmán
    7. The Csárdás Princess (Die Csárdásfürstin) by Emmerich Kálmán
    8. The Land of Smiles (Das Land des Lächelns) by Franz Lehár
    9. The Count of Luxembourg (Der Graf von Luxemburg) by Franz Lehár
    10. Giuditta by Franz Lehár"

    I also have Countess Maritza, and The Land of Smiles, but I didn't watch them yet, and silly me, I didn't realise they're Viennese! Of course, it may be difficult to find all of these, , and even more so to find translations that haven't been modernised (I avoid those as much as possible), but at least, I have somewhere to start!
