Chapter 285: Salzburg

The Salzburg Festival (German: Salzburger Festspiele, English: Salzburg Festival) was founded in 1920 and is held in Salzburg, Austria.

Unlike the Ruhr Piano Festival, which is purely a piano feast, the Salzburg Festival is one of the world's highest and most prestigious music festivals, one of the three largest classical music festivals in Europe.

Formerly known as the Mozart Festival, the overall popularity is not particularly high, but since a series of famous conductors have taken over the direction of the festival, the status of the Salzburg Festival has skyrocketed.

The conductor, the conductor Emperor Karajan, as the director, personally led and conducted the festival for more than 30 years, making the Salzburg Festival one of the hottest music festivals in the world.

But the only thing that's a little magical is ......

Originally the Karajan Orchestra, the Berliner Philharmoniker gradually left the Salzburg Festival.

The current conductor, no, the former conductor to be precise, the conductor of the Berliner Philharmoniker, Sir Simon, announced a few days ago that he is leaving the Berliner Philharmoniker, and the next conductor will take over non-stop.

As a former conductor, Sir Simon moved the Berliner Philharmoniker out of the Salzburg Festival and decided to go to the Baden-Baden Festival.

Baden means bath in German, so in a way, the Berliner Philharmoniker has succeeded in joining the bathing league.

However, the Salzburg Festival has not been gradually lost by the departure of the Berliner Philharmoniker, and its global influence is still amazing.

Fu followed the three members of his orchestra and Hubble as his mentor, and the five of them took the ICE to the city next door to Salzburg, Munich.

They needed to make a change in Munich and instead of a Deutsche Bahn train, they would take an Austrian Bahn train to Salzburg.

The transfer time was not long, only about ten minutes, but even if it was only such a short time, not long after Fu Tiao, Mira, and Taha got on the train to Salzburg, Camilo walked up to everyone with three glasses of beer full of one liter.

After handing the beer in his hand to Fu Tiao and Taha, he lay down on the seat of the train in a very chic manner, took a sip of the beer in the cup, looked extremely relaxed, and said with a smile.

"No, dark beer, it's sold at the station, and although it doesn't come in a beer mug, this plastic cup is okay and can make the beer taste burst out...... Tons and tons of tons, ha! Sure enough, if you want to drink dark beer, you have to come to Munich, and I really don't know how the dark beer I drank in Berlin tasted so strange, it was really annoying. ”

"Berlin...... You drink white beer, right? I didn't like the taste of the stout, but it was acceptable. After taking a sip of the beer in the glass, Taha leaned forward slightly, looked at Fu Diao, who was looking out the window, and smiled: "Dior, what about you?" ”

"Me?"

Fu Tiao didn't expect Taha to ask himself, he reached out and took the beer handed over by Camelo, thought about it, and didn't drink it, but handed it to Mira, who was sitting on the side with an expectant face, and shook his head.

"I don't have any ideas about beer, I'm thinking about what we're going to play at our Salzburg Festival, and I feel like there's a little bit of room for improvement."

"Room for improvement? Come on! Spare us, we're really tired! And also...... Don't give Mira a a drink! She's still a kid! ”

Camilo complained as he snatched the beer from Mira's hand, put it aside, and smiled at Fu Tiao.

"Mila is not yet old enough to legally drink alcohol, and I will tell you that you can't buy alcohol if you let her go to the street to buy alcohol! So ......"

"I'm not small! I just look small! But I'm old enough to drink! If you don't believe me, I'll go back and buy wine for you...... See? ”

Mira protested loudly from the side, but her tone weakened as she spoke.

"As long as I show him my ID card......"

"That's right, you see that if you don't bring your ID card on the street, you can't buy alcohol, so Mira, you can just watch us drink well, but don't be discouraged, I brought you this~"

Camillo looked at Mira like this, and couldn't help but smile as he pulled out three plastic bottles filled with orange liquid from his pocket.

"Freshly squeezed orange juice, I saw them squeeze it with my own eyes, and this 500ml bottle costs about three or four euros, so in order not to make you feel lost, I bought three bottles! It's also about ten euros, and the price is the same as our beer! How, surprise or not, surprise or not? ”

"Uh...... Thanks a lot? ”

Mila looked at the orange juice in Camilo's hand, twitched the corners of her mouth, and thanked him in a low voice, then took out a 10-euro bill from her pocket and handed it to him, and said angrily: "No, thank you for the orange juice you bought for me, thank you." ”

"You're welcome, it's just 10 euros, it's a small matter!"

Camilo grinned merrily, not thinking of taking the note in Mira's hand, but his smile was soon slapped by Taha's palm.

Taha didn't have a good breath at Camilo.

"Camilo! Don't bully people Mila is small, although Mila is small, but Mila is not small! Watch out for her to jump up and hit you in the knee! ”

"Taha!"

Mira was over there, half angry, half angry, waving her fist and slamming the two people opposite.

However, perhaps because she was too short, she couldn't even punch Taha and Camilo who were sitting opposite, and she was able to move forward enough, but she almost lost her balance and fell off her seat.

Fortunately, Fu quickly reached out to stop her, otherwise she might have to knock Taha and Camilo on the spot.

Mira rubbed the layer of fat that she had hit on Fu Tiao's arm because her body was out of balance, and then sat down again and whispered to Fu Tiao.

"Thank you...... Dior. ”

"It's okay, you're welcome, if you can, you can drink my beer, if you don't drink that orange juice, you can give it to me, I actually like to drink orange juice."

"Then ...... Thank you? ”

Mira thanked Fu Tiao again, reached out and snatched the beer from Camilo's hand, glared at him vigorously, and then grunted.

And Camilo looked at her with innocent eyes, and shrugged at Fu Tiao.

"Dior, why don't you drink? I don't think the legal drinking age in China is 21, right? ”

"No ......"

After Fu Tiao unscrewed the orange juice in his hand, he took a sip casually, and his brows couldn't help but be slightly raised.

This orange juice is surprisingly good.

He took a big sip and smiled at Camilo.

"To be precise, it should be one or two years old, because we were brought to the banquet when we were children, and then our father would always like to take chopsticks and order a little bit of wine to feed us when he was drinking with others, so we didn't have any so-called drinking restrictions at all."

"Shhh...... What is it about suddenly feeling a wave of envy? ”

Camilo clutched his heart in pain and said enviously: "I suddenly thought of my previous school trip, when I went skiing in the Alps, we lived in a room on the mountain at that time, and we could buy alcohol downstairs at that time, but because I was not old enough, I began to think of all kinds of ways, really hard work, such as ......"

Camilo pretended to hold an identity card, squinted at the information on it, put it down and lifted it from time to time, as if looking at something, and then said in a low and heavy male voice.

"The people up there...... Is that you? ”

When the words fell, he immediately changed his tone, pinched his throat and pretended to be immature: "It's me, it's me, it's me!" ”

"Really?"

"Yes! Then...... I'm still fat, and I haven't shaved my beard yet! This is really me! ”

"Is it really you?"

"It's really me!"

"I said he wasn't you!"

"That's right! Eh, store manager, you're right! It's not me when I say this, it's not me! I don't know why this photo doesn't match me, I took a good picture and took a photo to get my identity when they gave me this one, I said it's not me, they have to say this is me, no way, I can match everything except the face! ”

Camilo looked confident, then raised his finger and added.

"Especially age!"

Burst!

Before Fu Tuo could do anything, Mira on the side sprayed, and beer rushed out of her nose, laughing so much that she coughed again and again, trying to hold back, but it only brought a louder coughing sound, which made her extremely uncomfortable.

And such a cough made the eyes of the people around them can't help but focus on them, Taha can only sigh helplessly, put down the beer in his hand, get up and walk to Mira's side, and reach out to help her pat her back.

"How? Are you okay? Mira? ”

"Okay, poof...... Ahem, okay, ahem, ahem...... Much better! ”

Mira coughed while reluctantly giving Tahabi an OK: "Sorry Taha, I'm really much better, you trust me!" ”

“……”

Taha looked at Mira, who was still coughing vigorously over there, and sighed twice, but continued to reach out and pat her back, trying to make her comfortable, and then glanced at Camilo, who was showing an innocent appearance on the side, and didn't have a good air.

"Don't tell bad jokes when you're drinking, and while I know it's probably true, don't you notice that Taha is drinking?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for my fault!"

Without any hesitation, Camilo directly slipped on his knees and apologized to Mira.

Although there may not be anything wrong with him, but looking at Mira who was smiling with a handful of snot and tears in front of him, he couldn't say anything, so he could only shrug his shoulders helplessly, reached out and took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to Mira.

"So...... You okay? ”

"It's okay......"

After working hard for a long time, Mira finally stopped her smile, took the napkin handed by Camilo, wiped the traces on her face, and whispered to the three of them.

"I'm sorry for the trouble."

"It's okay, it's okay, you're okay." Camilo immediately waved his hand.

Taha, on the other hand, returned to his seat and said helplessly with a reproachful face: "The next time you listen to Camilo, don't listen while holding a beer glass and drinking it, who knows if he will suddenly be funny." ”

"Yes, yes, don't listen to me! I'm really sorry this time......"

Camilo continued to apologize to Mira, while Fu Tuo smiled at the interaction between the three of them and did not participate in it.

He took a sip of the orange juice from his glass and looked out the window.

The view from the window is even more magnificent than the view in Germany.

Because here, they managed to enter the Alpine mountain range.

Unlike Huaguo's high-speed trains, they don't go directly through the mountains, from one end to the other, but instead weave between the mountains, incorporating the untouched beauty into the window.

On the left, there may be towering mountains, and on the left, lakes between the mountains.

Like the windows XP boot desktop, the grass is tiled between the mountains and the mountains, holding up the houses with curling green smoke wafting in the distance.

Everything seemed so calm and tranquil.

At this moment, Fu Tiao suddenly understood why so many Germans, Austrians, and Swiss loved this mountain range so much.

And why they are so obsessed with forests and mountains.

Their most enthusiastic sport is not all kinds of ball games, but the simplest hikes.

Running thirty or forty kilometers every day, shuttling through the deep mountains and forests, feeling the surprise of the mountains and rivers and the hidden roads, the willows and flowers and the bright villages, and experiencing the excitement that there may be magnificent scenery in front of you at every moment.

Wow!

The two staggered grasses dissipated in front of Fu Diao, and the darkness with a hint of solemn stones occupied his sight, but Fu Diao had just taken out his mobile phone from his pocket, and he hadn't had time to take pictures.

"It's a pity ......"

Fu Tuo shook his head slightly and put the phone in his pocket.

The three people on the side didn't know when they stopped arguing, but looked at everything outside the window very quietly.

After hearing Fu Tuo's words, Camilo was also a little emotional.

"This is my first time in the Alps, and I've always heard from my friends that the scenery is so beautiful, but I never imagined it to be so beautiful."

"Yes, it's really beautiful, it would be nice to see this kind of scenery a little later, the kind of sunset, the dim yellow sun shining on that green smoke, maybe even more intoxicating......" Taha nodded as well.

Listening to everyone's speeches, Mira didn't say anything, just flipped through her mobile phone, and after making a registration on it, she said to Fu Tuo.

"Dior, do you like the scenery just now?"

"Huh?"

Fu Tiao was stunned, looked at Mira behind him, and nodded slightly.

"I really like it, but I don't know if the route back will go this way, and I don't know if I can still feel the beauty if I pass through this side when I turn back......

"If you all like it, then let's go hiking! I took a look at the nearest station here there is a small road that can be reached directly, only need to hike 30 kilometers, not far, walk in the morning and get there in the evening, we can even bring a tent, I just checked, the night view effect and humidity here ......"

Mira's rigor as a German suddenly emerged at this moment, and without waiting for the three of them to speak, she looked at her phone and began to calculate what they needed to prepare if they wanted to come to this place to see the scenery on foot.

In just a few minutes, she had planned on her phone what they would need to do if they wanted to see it again.

She held up her phone, looked at the three of them, and spoke.

"So...... Do you want to go? ”

“……”

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, then shook their heads helplessly.

Fu Tiao stretched out his hand to rub her head, but after thinking about it, he still landed on her shoulder and patted her gently: "Thank you, but I think it's better to forget it, although I really want to see it again, but this thirty-kilometer hike is really a bit ......."

"Huh? It's only 30 kilometers, even if it's 60 kilometers back and forth, normal people can run 50 kilometers a day, right? ”

"Please, the marathon is only 42 kilometers, we are not Germans, we are really average for hiking, even if it is not hiking, even if it is cycling, 50 kilometers a day is very tiring!"

"That's it!"

Camilo said on the side, and Taha also helped with a few words.

The two of them confused the topic, and then gently touched the cold sweat behind their backs.

A hike of more than 30 kilometers a day, what are you kidding? Do you really think everyone is a Germanic superman?

Seeing everyone like this, Mira crossed out the plan with a little regret, and then continued to poke and poke on her phone.

It seemed that she was going to run more than 30 kilometers with a bag on her back.

Mira's action made Camilo and Taha feel a pimple, and they were a little afraid that Mila would have any problems if she went alone, after all, people, as a very important part of the quartet, must not have any problems.

But if they were to go with Mira, their legs would be a little weak.

You can run more than 60 kilometers back and forth, which basically completes the amount of exercise for a month, and when you finish running, their legs probably won't be theirs, right?

For a while, the atmosphere froze like this, Camilo and Taha drank beer in their cups, one looked left and the other right, and the main one didn't know each other.

Mira, on the other hand, was constantly typing on her phone, and seemed to have begun to prepare for the post-concert schedule in advance.

Fu Tiao was the only one who continued to look at the scenery outside the window, thinking about the music, waiting for the car to pass through the mountains and come to the city surrounded by mountains.

Western Austria, the gateway of the Alps, the capital of the state of Salzburg.

City of Salzburg!

It's almost a stone's throw from the German border and a favorite tourist destination for Germans, especially Munich, who love and hate it.

It is often said that one of the most successful things in Salzburg, or Austria, was to turn Mozart into an Austrian and a mustache into a German.

But that said, it didn't stop them from driving or taking a train through the 120 kilometres.

The train gradually slowed down, listening to the sound of the train staff announcing the station and the movements of the people around him, Fu Diao took his attention away from the scenery outside the window that began to become regular, got up and spoke to the three people around him.

"Alright, it's time for Salzburg, get up and pack your bags and get ready for our first festival concert in Salzburg."

"Good!"

The three of them responded at the same time, got up and packed their luggage, and followed behind Fu Tiao.

After the vehicle stops and opens the door, step out.
