Vienna (Austria), Feb 22 (EFE), (Camera: Maider Gamero).- Arches, galleries and paintings instead of overtures and arias. The Vienna State Opera has reinvented itself modifying its cultural offer as a museum to receive visitors amid the pandemic. Although current sanitary measures prevent spectators from attending performances (which are broadcast on the Internet or the country's public television), the Opera has designed a free guided tour on weekends, taking advantage of the fact that museums are now open to visitors.

Before the pandemic, large groups of tourists would line up patiently for a chance to sample this most-famous of Viennese desserts, but the Covid-19 restrictions has forced the famous café to find a different approach by delivering the cake, which comprises a sponge bases smothered in apricot jam and coated in unctuous chocolate icing.FOOTAGE OF HOTEL SACHER IN VIENNA.SOUNDBITES OF ANDREAS KEESE, MANAGER OF HOTEL SACHER.
