Liebelei at the Josefstadt

On 1/25 at 7.30pm there is Liebelei by Arthur Schnitzler at the Theater in der Josefstadt in Vienna, Austria with Otto Schenk. Update: while the first act was not great, with tiny quiet voices that were hard to understand even with good ears, the moment Otto Schenk appeared on stage it became real theatre, sometimes even magic! Incredible touching performance!
