Berkeley Guide to Europe:
Austria
By Denise Leto
Sad but true, Austria (Österreich) sparks only vague recognition in the average traveler. Most conjure up hazy images of Alpine villages or Mozart operas; some can only think of Arnold Schwarzenegger; and a few just ask the dreaded "How can they stand all that Vegemite?" Austrians are always appalled to learn of their relative obscurity in the world's collective consciousness. They take their cosmopolitanism quite seriously and yearn to be considered a cultural superpower. There's no denying their credentials: Classical music flourishes year-round in festivals all over the country, drama and dance in Vienna remain some of the world's best, and opera continues to thrive not only in the capital, but also in Salzburg, Innsbruck, Graz, and Linz.
