It was a great concert, and we had really nice seats! Unfortunately, it wasn't as cool inside St. Stephen's Cathedral as we'd hoped; the air was muggy and low on oxygen. And unfortunately, many of the other visitors weren't there for the music, but were busy taking photos and selfies and fiddling with their fans.

The organ music in the cathedral was unforgettable. The atmosphere is special, and the cathedral is simply impressive. When the space fills with music, it’s just beautiful. Buying tickets, entering, choosing seats—it was all straightforward. We looked around a bit afterward and were told rather harshly to please leave the cathedral. No big deal, but it didn’t fit with the rest of the evening.
