Seehotel Winkler is a comfortable restaurant and inn located about 20 kilometers from Salzburg's center on tranquil Wallersee, a six- square-kilometer glacial lake. It's a favorite spot of all the performers. Last July, word got out via cellphone networking that Opera News was coralling the cast of the new Martin Kusej Don Giovanni for a Sunday-afternoon supper. Not only did the Giovanni crew arrive, stray baritones and mezzos from sundry other shows turned up. Come to think of it, a few singers showed who weren't even singing in Austria!" Gregory Downer
