The Vienna Opera Ball
discussed below is associated with the Vienna State Opera. The article portrays the Ball's wealthy
patrons who are similar to the New York patrons who bring the VPO to
Carnegie.
The State Opera Orchestra
orchestra forbids membership to non-whites and women (excepting harpists.)
Chancellor Wolfgang Schluessel has dismissed domestic
and international protests against Austria's far right government: "Those from the old left, the
generation of 1968, can have a good romp with the young and the Internet
generation," he said. "Then
we will return to normality and get on with the work that has to be
done."

I wish the IAWM's 68ers and
"Internet youth" continued happy "romping."
