Vienna Phil’s First Time With A Woman

Australian conductor Simone Young became the first woman ever to conduct the Vienna Philharmonic last weekend. “Although the mixed-metaphor reviewers were underwhelmed, we have it on good authority that they were generally courteous and even deferential — a signal perhaps that while Vienna’s musical life is stuck in the 19th century, it has some grace, intelligence and dignity.”

    Haha, great headline!
    Reading it I thought that would be Philipp’s “loss of virginity” story.

    Great headline! I wondered about there being an Austrian version of “40 Year-Old Virgin.”

    The loss of my virginity is, sadly, no newsworthy item. and even if it were, it took place long before the Vienna Metblog launched. :)
