The original had comically large wheels and a disproportionate wheel base. I shortened the wheel base by three studs and the overall length by two and a bit, reworked the front end, tweaked the color scheme and lost all the playabiity of the original.

Collection
The foundation of the collection consists of 205 mostly French and Dutch paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries which Margravine Karoline Luise acquired 1759-1776. From this collection originate significant works, such as The portrait of a young man by Frans van Mieris the Elder, The winter landscape with lime kiln of Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem, The Lacemaker by Gerard Dou, the Still Life with hunting equipment and dead partridge of Willem van Aelst, The Peace in the Chicken yard by Melchior de Hondecoeter as well as a self-portrait by Rembrandt van Rijn. In addition, four still lifes of Jean Siméon Chardin and two pastoral scenes by François Boucher, having been commissioned directly by the Marchioness from artists.
A first significant expansion the museum received in 1858 by the collection of canon Johann Baptist von Hirscher (1788-1865) with works of religious art of the 15th and 16th centuries. This group includes works such as two tablets of the Sterzinger altar and the wing fragment The sacramental blessing of Bartholomew Zeitblom. From 1899 to 1920, the native of Baden painter Hans Thoma held the position of Director of the Kunsthalle. He acquired old masterly paintings as the tauberbischofsheim altarpiece by Matthias Grünewald and drove the expansion of the collection with art of the 19th century forward. Only his successors expanded the holdings of the Art Gallery with works of Impressionism and the following generations of artists.
The permanent exhibition in the main building includes approximately 800 paintings and sculptures. Among the outstanding works of art of the Department German painters of the late Gothic and Renaissance are the Christ as Man of Sorrows by Albrecht Dürer, the Carrying of the Cross and the Crucifixion by Matthias Grünewald, Maria with the Child by Lucas Cranach the Elder, the portrait of Sebastian Brant by Hans Burgkmair the elder and The Nativity of Hans Baldung. Whose Margrave panel due to property disputes in 2006 made it in the headlines and also led to political conflicts. One of the biggest buying successes which a German museum in the postwar period was able to land concerns the successive acquisition of six of the seven known pieces of a Passion altar in 1450 - the notname of the artist after this work "Master of the Karlsruhe Passion" - a seventh piece is located in German public ownership (Wallraf-Richartz Museum, Cologne).
In the department of Dutch and Flemish paintings of the 16th century can be found, in addition to the aforementioned works, the portrait of the Marchesa Veronica Spinola Doria by Peter Paul Rubens, Moses strikes the rock and water flows for the thirsty people of Israel of Jacob Jordaens, the still life with kitchen tools and foods of Frans Snyders, the village festival of David Teniers the younger, the still life with lemon, oranges and filled clay pot by Willem Kalf, a Young couple having breakfast by Gabriel Metsu, in the bedroom of Pieter de Hooch, the great group of trees at the waterfront of Jacob Izaaksoon van Ruisdael, a river landscape with a milkmaid of Aelbert Jacobsz. Cuyp as well as a trompe-l'œil still life of Samuel van Hoogstraten.
Further examples of French paintings of the 17th and 18th centuries are, the adoration of the golden calf of Claude Lorrain, preparations for dance class of the Le Nain brothers, the portrait of Marshal Charles-Auguste de Matignon by Hyacinthe Rigaud, the portrait of a young nobleman in hunting costume of Nicolas de Largillière, The storm of Claude Joseph Vernet and The minuet of Nicolas Lancret. From the 19th century can be found with Rocky wooded valley at Civita Castellana by Gustave Courbet, The Lamentation of Eugène Delacroix, the children portrait Le petit Lange of Édouard Manet, the portrait of Madame Jeantaud by Edgar Degas, the landscape June morning near Pontoise by Camille Pissarro, homes in Le Pouldu Paul Gauguin and views to the sea at L'Estaque by Paul Cézanne further works of French artists at Kunsthalle.
One focus of the collection is the German painting and sculpture of the 19th century. From Joseph Anton Koch, the Kunsthalle possesses a Heroic landscape with rainbow, from Georg Friedrich Kersting the painting The painter Gerhard Kügelgen in his studio, from Caspar David Friedrich the landscape rocky reef on the sea beach and from Karl Blechen view to the Monastery of Santa Scolastica. Other important works of this department are the disruption of Adolph Menzel as well as the young self-portrait, the portrait Nanna Risi and The Banquet of Plato of Anselm Feuerbach.
For the presentation of the complex of oeuvres by Hans Thoma, a whole wing in 1909 at the Kunsthalle was installed. Main oeuvres of the arts are, for example, the genre picture The siblings as well as, created on behalf of the grand-ducal family, Thoma Chapel with its religious themes.
Of the German contemporaries of Hans Thoma, Max Liebermann on the beach of Noordwijk and Lovis Corinth with a portrait of his wife in the museum are represented. Furthermore the Kunsthalle owns works by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, Carl Spitzweg, Arnold Böcklin, Hans von Marées, Wilhelm Leibl, Fritz von Uhde, Wilhelm Trübner and Max Klinger.
In the building of the adjacent Orangerie works of the collection and new acquisitions from the years after 1952 can be seen. In two integrated graphics cabinets the Kupferstichkabinett (gallery of prints) gives insight into its inventory of contemporary art on paper. From the period after 1945, the works Arabs with footprints by Jean Dubuffet, Sponge Relief RE 48; Sol. 1960 by Yves Klein, Honoring the square: Yellow center of Josef Albers, the cityscape F by Gerhard Richter and the Fixe idea by Georg Baselitz in the Kunsthalle. The collection of classical modernism wandered into the main building. Examples of paintings from the period to 1945 are The Eiffel Tower by Robert Delaunay, the Improvisation 13 by Wassily Kandinsky, Deers in the Forest II by Franz Marc, People at the Blue lake of August Macke, the self-portrait The painter of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, the Merzpicture 21b by Kurt Schwitters, the forest of Max Ernst, Tower gate II by Lyonel Feininger, the Seven Deadly Sins of Otto Dix and the removal of the Sphinxes by Max Beckmann.

Sammlung
Den Grundstock der Sammlung bilden 205 meist französische und niederländische Gemälde des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts, welche Markgräfin Karoline Luise zwischen 1759 und 1776 erwarb. Aus dieser Sammlung stammen bedeutende Arbeiten, wie das Bildnis eines jungen Mannes von Frans van Mieris der Ältere, die Winterlandschaft mit Kalkofen von Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem, Die Spitzenklöpplerin von Gerard Dou, das Stillleben mit Jagdgeräten und totem Rebhuhn von Willem van Aelst, Der Friede im Hühnerhof von Melchior de Hondecoeter sowie ein Selbstbildnis von Rembrandt van Rijn. Hinzu kommen vier Stillleben von Jean Siméon Chardin und zwei Schäferszenen von François Boucher, die die Markgräfin bei Künstlern direkt in Auftrag gegeben hatte.
Eine erste wesentliche Erweiterung erhielt das Museum 1858 durch die Sammlung des Domkapitulars Johann Baptist von Hirscher (1788–1865) mit Werken religiöser Kunst des 15. und 16. Jahrhunderts. Zu dieser Gruppe gehören Werke wie zwei Tafeln des Sterzinger Altars und das Flügelfragment Der sakramentale Segen von Bartholomäus Zeitblom. Von 1899 bis 1920 bekleidete der aus Baden stammende Maler Hans Thoma die Position des Direktors der Kunsthalle. Er erwarb altmeisterliche Gemälde wie den Tauberbischofsheimer Altar von Matthias Grünewald und trieb den Ausbau der Sammlung mit Kunst des 19. Jahrhunderts voran. Erst seine Nachfolger erweiterten die Bestände der Kunsthalle um Werke des Impressionismus und der folgenden Künstlergenerationen.
Die Dauerausstellung im Hauptgebäude umfasst rund 800 Gemälde und Skulpturen. Zu den herausragenden Kunstwerken der Abteilung deutsche Maler der Spätgotik und Renaissance gehören der Christus als Schmerzensmann von Albrecht Dürer, die Kreuztragung und Kreuzigung von Matthias Grünewald, Maria mit dem Kinde von Lucas Cranach der Ältere, das Bildnis Sebastian Brants von Hans Burgkmair der Ältere und die Die Geburt Christi von Hans Baldung. Dessen Markgrafentafel geriet durch Eigentumsstreitigkeiten 2006 in die Schlagzeilen und führte auch zu politischen Auseinandersetzungen.

The mosaic, in First Style, framed by a rich festoon of leaves, fruit and comical masks, typical of this period, portrays the reunion of a group of seven philosophers. Four are seated on a semi-circular stone seat with leonine feet and three are standing. All are wearing cloaks, the characteristic clothing of orators and of Greek philosophers of the classical age, except for one who is also wearing a chiton underneath. Furthermore, their right arms or the whole upper part of their bodies are bare, with the exception of the figure furthest back, whose hands and arms are hidden by his cloak: he is probably a visitor to the Academy whose gesture of covering his arms can be interpreted as a sign of respect. The third from the left could be Plato: depicted with a large head and wide forehead, he holds a rod in his right hand and traces a geometrical figure on the ground. The other characters are listening, or talking amongst themselves. The first from left could be Heraclites Pontico, the second Lysias, the penultimate from the right Senocrates, whilst the last on the right, on the point of leaving and holding in his left hand a scroll, which he touches with his right hand, may be Aristotle. In the background, in the view of a temple on a hill it is possible to identify the Acropolis of Athens with the Parthenon. At the base of the mosaic there is a casket with the celestial sphere, upon which is traced a thick grid of meridians and parallel lines, probably connected to the discussion which centred on cosmological themes. Around the seven figures from left to right, there is a portal with two columns and an epistyle surmounted by four covered vases (symbols of Arithmetic, Geometry, Astronomy and Music, or of the four seasons of the year, or of the positions of the Sun), a tree and a votive column with a sundial, typical of an entirely mythological landscape, without any precise geographical reference. It may in fact be a reference to the funerary monument of Academos, the mythical Attic hero, near whose tomb, situated in a woodland location on the outskirts of Athens, where a Gymnasium and later, the Academy of Plato would be built. It seems that Heraclites Pontico is giving a sort of lecture, portrayed as he is on the extreme left, whilst he speaks leaning his left hand on the shoulder of his neighbour, on the point of raising his right arm as if he wants to explain something and gazes in the direction of the celestial sphere, while the other figures observe him. The chosen theme in the mosaic, which at the time of the eruption had been removed from its original location probably in order to be sold, clearly alludes to the literary and philosophical interests of the owner of the villa and probably derives from a Late Hellenistic model.

Paestum is two hours down the autostrada from Pompeii but the contrast is almost comical. A day earlier we had been suffocating in Pompeii, failing miserably to dodge tour guides and being barked at by the custodians. The next day we were on our own in the wide open green spaces of Paestum, sharing a picnic on the steps of a temple with the security guard
The site is so far off the tourist track that it is almost invisible. What they miss is one of the greatest Hellenic sites, the three Doric temples dedicated to Hera and Athena are among the best preserved Greek temples anywhere. But don’t tell them......

An Easy Cure For Crossed Eyes -
“Do you think I look weird?” an orange fly asked me one day in the forest. It was obvious his pupils were focusing his nose all the time, so I declared bluntly he had strabismal. “Can’t you do something and make them right?” the long-suffering fly pleaded. It bothered me he was depressed and a light bulb lit up my mind. I stick out my tongue and cast my eyeballs separately to the outer corners. The cross-eyed hopper was so mad at my mocking, his black peppers ran in a murderous frenzy within the yellow sclera. “Stop!” I shouted at the eleventh seconds and the orbiting dots stalled miraculously at the centre. Oh boy, I’m not even a medical entomologist yet I gave a quick fix to a squinty bug. Just when I thought he could pay me with an after picture to show on Flickr, he jumped.

Burgtheater building (1, Franzensring 12, University Ring 2, 1888 k.k. Hofburgtheater, 16 November 1918 Hof-Burgtheater, 3 December 1918 Burgtheater).
With the construction of the Ring Road, the construction of a new building for the Burgtheater was planned. The Old Burgtheater was part of the Hofburg and had to give way to the redesign of the Saint Michael wing. After nearly a quarter of a century of planning and building, the new Burgtheater opened on October 14, 1888 with Franz Grillparzer's "Esther" and Friedrich Schiller's "Wallenstein's Camp".
The groundbreaking ceremony for the new Burgtheater, which was partly built on the grounds of the former Paradeisgartel (very small tomato garden) at the former Franzensring, took place on 16 December 1874; the plans are by Gottfried Semper and Carl von Hasenauer (interior design); the auditorium had to be rebuilt in 1897 because of bad acoustics.
During the construction, a ashlar stone from the old Löwel bastion ("1544") was used in the left underground passageway, which formerly extended here.
Appearance
The building is dominated by a mighty vaulted central part, on whose high attic is an 18-meter-long bas-relief by Rudolf Weyr ("Bacchantenzug - group of Bacchants"), above it on the balustrade the colossal group "Apollo with the Muses Melpomene and Thalia" (tragic and comical Muse ) by Carl Kundmann. On both sides extend sweeping wings, which include, inter alia, the two box staircases; on the outer ends they have passages with overlying loggias, on the front and back fronts they are adorned by allegorical groups of figures by Johannes Benk, which symbolize virtues and passions that equally dominate life and drama (love/hate, heroism/selfishness, humility/domination).
In the niches of the side facades are statues of Viktor Tilgner (Buffoon, Falstaff, Phaedra, Don Juan) and Hanns Gasser (Prometheus, Genoveva). The colossal busts above the windows of the first floor in the central building were designed by Viktor Tilgner (center: Goethe, Schiller, Lessing, left: Calderon, Shakespeare, Molière, right: Halm, Grillparzer, Hebbel); in the gussets below figures from dramas of the respective poets, the front of Weyr, the other of Tilgner, Silbernagl and Costenoble.
Pairs of gusset figures by Tilgner are attached to the front of the two wings (Kleist and Otto Ludwig on the left, Kotzebue and Bauernfeld on the right); all other components also bear rich figural decoration.
On the facade facing Löwel street there is a commemorative plaque on either side of the door niche: the left one reminds of the Löwel bastion and has the following inscription: "At this place rose the Loebel bastion built in 1546 and demolished in 1872". From the old bastion stem also the brick which is walled in the right, seen from the Ring, passage behind the grid. The stone bears the year MDXXXXIIII (1544). The right panel is dedicated to the memory of the Turkish siege of 1683: "From the 8th to the 11th of September, 1683, the brave defenders of Vienna rejected the most violent and last attacks of the Turks".
Interior
The original auditorium was a combination of the box- and gallery theater (1945 destroyed). The splendid grand staircase in the side wings have been preserved in their original form (ceiling paintings depicting the development of the theater, on the right side (seen from the People's Garden) "Dionysus Theater in Athens" by Franz Matsch, London Globe Theater by Gustav Klimt and Molière theater in Paris by Ernst Klimt; Taormina by Gustav Klimt, Mystery Stage of the Middle Ages by Franz Matsch and "Buffoon on the Fair" by Ernst Klimt).
On the middle platforms of the similarly-shaped staircases, there are pictures of important actors in the wall niches (on the left staircase to the left of Carl Costenoble: Thespis, Kallipides, Quintus Roscius, Richard Burbadge, to the right of Anton Paul Wagner: Sebastian de Prado, Maria Calderon, Jean Baptiste Poquelin [Molière ], David Garrick, in the right staircase on the left Johann Friedrich Ferdinand Fleck, Ferdinand Johann Baptist Esslair, Ludwig Devrient and Carl Seydelmann [all by Josef Fritsch], on the right Caroline Neuber, Friedrich Ludwig Schröder, Konrad Ekhof and August Wilhelm Iffland [all by Josef Lax]).
On the stairs are actor busts: left Friedrich Halm, Friedrich Hebbel, Eduard von Bauernfeld, Franz Grillparzer (all by Viktor Tilgner), Gerhart Hauptmann (by Gottfried Behn), Anton Wildgans (by Georgi), Adolf Wilbrandt (by Caspar von Zumbusch); on the right Josef Kainz (by Sandor Jaray), Hugo Thimig (by Stemolak), Josef Lewinsky and Charlotte Wolter (by Viktor Tilgner), Max Devrient and Ernst Hartmann (by Hans Dietrich) and Georg Reimers (by Kaminsky), at the stair entrances busts of Raoul Aslan and Albert Heine (both by Andre Roder).
Above the entrance doors to the ground floor boxes allegorical marble groups by Johannes Benk (left: truth and poetry, right: wisdom and beauty), in the vestibule of the lodge house, portrait statues of stage stars (among others Joseph von Sonnenfels and Friedrich Schreyvogel by Johann Silbernagl, Heinrich Laube and Franz Dingelstedt von Heinrich Natter); the ceiling paintings in the foyer are by Eduard Charlemont and the marble thermal baths in the vestibule of the Emperor's staircase by Viktor Tilgner; the frieze on the stairwell was painted by August Eisenmenger; in the first and second foyer hang actor portraits (see Burgtheater gallery).
On 12 March (bombing hit) and 12 April 1945 (artillery hit, fire), the premises of the auditorium were largely destroyed. The operation was already resumed on April 30, 1945 in the Ronacher, which Buschbeck had found as an alternative stage (opening with Grillparzer's "Sappho").
Reconstruction (1948-1955) was carried out by Michel Engelhart (whose plans paid the most attention to the structure) as a result of a call for tenders to which twelve architects had been invited; acoustic deficiencies and the poor visibility of the originally lyre-shaped log theater were resolved (omission of the court lodge, introduction of two ranks), also installed a lift-transfer table of high technical standards. The reopening of Mozart's Kleiner Nachtmusik (a small night music) took place on October 14, 1955 under director Rott, and a day later the first play (Grillparzer's "King Ottokar's Luck and End") was played in the restored "Castle".
Gebäude des Burgtheaters (1, Franzensring 12, Universitätsring 2; 1888 k.k. Hofburgtheater; 16. November 1918 Hof-Burgtheater; 3. Dezember 1918 Burgtheater).
Mit der Anlage der Ringstraße wurde der Bau eines neuen Gebäudes für das Burgtheater geplant. Das Alte Burgtheater war Bestandteil der Hofburg und musste der Neuplanung des Michaelertraktes weichen. Nach fast einem Vierteljahrhundert des Planens und Bauens wurde das neue Burgtheater am 14. Oktober 1888 mit Franz Grillparzers "Esther" und Friedrich Schillers "Wallensteins Lager" eröffnet.
Der erste Spatenstich zum neuen Burgtheater, das teilweise auf den Gründen des ehemaligen Paradeisgartels am damaligen Franzensring erbaut wurde, erfolgte am 16. Dezember 1874; die Pläne stammen von Gottfried Semper und Carl von Hasenauer (Innengestaltung); der Zuschauerraum musste wegen schlechter Akustik 1897 umgebaut werden.
Während des Baues wurde in die linke Unterfahrt ein Quaderstein von der alten Löwelbastei ("1544") eingesetzt, die sich ehemals hier ausgedehnt hatte.
Äußeres
Der Bau ist durch einen mächtigen vorgewölbten Mittelteil geprägt, auf dessen hoher Attika sich ein 18 Meter langes Basrelief von Rudolf Weyr ("Bacchantenzug") befindet, darüber auf der Balustrade die Kolossalgruppe "Apollo mit den Musen Melpomene und Thalia" (tragische und komische Muse) von Carl Kundmann. Nach beiden Seiten erstrecken sich weitausladende Flügelbauten, die unter anderem die beiden Logentreppen aufnehmen; an den äußeren Enden besitzen sie Durchfahrten mit darüberliegenden Loggien, an den Stirn- und Rückenfronten sind sie durch allegorische Figurengruppen von Johannes Benk geschmückt, die Tugenden und Leidenschaften symbolisieren, die gleichermaßen das Leben und das Drama beherrschen (Liebe/Hass, Heroismus/Egoismus, Demut/Herrschsucht).
In den Nischen der Seitenfassaden befinden sich Statuen von Viktor Tilgner (Hanswurst, Falstaff, Phaedra, Don Juan) und Hanns Gasser (Prometheus, Genoveva). Die Kolossalbüsten oberhalb der Fenster des ersten Stocks im Mittelbau schuf Viktor Tilgner (Mitte: Goethe, Schiller, Lessing; links: Calderon, Shakespeare, Molière; rechts: Halm, Grillparzer, Hebbel); in den Zwickeln darunter Gestalten aus Dramen der jeweiligen Dichter, die vorderen von Weyr, die anderen von Tilgner, Silbernagl und Costenoble.
An der Vorderseite der beiden Flügel sind Zwickelfigurenpaare von Tilgner angebracht (links Kleist und Otto Ludwig, rechts Kotzebue und Bauernfeld); auch alle übrigen Bauteile tragen reichen figuralen Schmuck.
An der zur Löwelstraße gerichteten Fassade befindet sich beiderseits der Tornische je eine Gedenktafel: Die linke erinnert an die Löwelbastion und hat folgende Inschrift: "An dieser Stelle erhob sich die im Jahre 1546 erbaute und im Jahre 1872 abgebrochene Loebelbastei". Von der alten Bastion stammt auch der Ziegel, der in der, vom Ring aus gesehen rechten Durchfahrt rechts hinter dem Gitter eingemauert ist. Der Stein trägt die Jahreszahl MDXXXXIIII (1544). Die rechte Tafel ist der Erinnerung an die Türkenbelagerung 1683 gewidmet: "Vom 8ten bis 11ten Sept. 1683 wiesen von hier aus die tapferen Vertheidiger Wiens die heftigsten und letzten Angriffe der Türken zurück".
Inneres
Der ursprüngliche Zuschauerraum war eine Verbindung von Logen- und Rangtheater (1945 zerstört). Die prachtvollen Feststiegen in den Seitenflügeln sind original erhalten geblieben (Deckengemälde, welche die Entwicklung des Theaters darstellen; rechts [Volksgartenseite] "Dionysostheater in Athen" von Franz Matsch, Globetheater in London von Gustav Klimt und Molièretheater in Paris von Ernst Klimt; links Theater in Taormina von Gustav Klimt, Mysterienbühne des Mittelalters von Franz Matsch und "Hanswurst auf dem Jahrmarkt" von Ernst Klimt).
Auf den Mittelpodesten der gleichartig gestalteten Stiegenhäuser stehen in Wandnischen Standbilder bedeutender Schauspieler (im linken Stiegenhaus links von Carl Costenoble: Thespis, Kallipides, Quintus Roscius, Richard Burbadge, rechts von Anton Paul Wagner: Sebastian de Prado, Maria Calderon, Jean Baptiste Poquelin [Molière], David Garrick; im rechten Stiegenhaus links Johann Friedrich Ferdinand Fleck, Ferdinand Johann Baptist Esslair, Ludwig Devrient und Carl Seydelmann [alle von Josef Fritsch], rechts Caroline Neuber, Friedrich Ludwig Schröder, Konrad Ekhof und August Wilhelm Iffland [alle von Josef Lax]).
Auf den Treppenpodesten stehen Schauspielerbüsten: links Friedrich Halm, Friedrich Hebbel, Eduard von Bauernfeld, Franz Grillparzer (alle von Viktor Tilgner), Gerhart Hauptmann (von Gottfried Behn), Anton Wildgans (von Georgi), Adolf Wilbrandt (von Caspar von Zumbusch); rechts Josef Kainz (von Sandor Jaray), Hugo Thimig (von Stemolak), Josef Lewinsky und Charlotte Wolter (von Viktor Tilgner), Max Devrient und Ernst Hartmann (von Hans Dietrich) und Georg Reimers (von Kaminsky), bei den Stiegeneingängen Büsten von Raoul Aslan und Albert Heine (beide von Andre Roder).
Über den Eingangstüren zu den Parterrelogen allegorische Marmorgruppen von Johannes Benk (links Wahrheit und Dichtung, rechts Weisheit und Schönheit), im Vestibül des Logenhauses Porträtstatuen von Bühnengrößen (unter anderen Joseph von Sonnenfels und Friedrich Schreyvogel von Johann Silbernagl, Heinrich Laube und Franz Dingelstedt von Heinrich Natter); die Deckengemälde im Foyer stammen von Eduard Charlemont und die Marmorhermen im Vestibül der Kaiserstiege von Viktor Tilgner, den Fries auf der Stiegenrotunde malte August Eisenmenger; im ersten und zweiten Foyer hängen Schauspielerporträts (siehe Burgtheatergalerie).
Am 12. März (Bombentreffer) und 12. April 1945 (Artillerietreffer, Brand) wurden die Räumlichkeiten des Zuschauerhauses weitgehend zerstört. Der Spielbetrieb wurde bereits am 30. April 1945 im Ronacher, das Buschbeck als Ausweichbühne gefunden hatte, wieder aufgenommen (Eröffnung mit Grillparzers "Sappho").
Der Wiederaufbau (1948-1955) erfolgte aufgrund des Ergebnisses einer Ausschreibung, zu der zwölf Architekten eingeladen worden waren, durch Michel Engelhart (dessen Pläne auf den Bestand die größte Rücksicht nahmen); akustische Mängel und die schlechten Sichtverhältnisse des ursprünglich lyraförmig angelegten Logentheaters wurden behoben (Weglassen der Hofloge, Einführung von zwei Rängen), außerdem eine Hub-Schiebebühne hohen technischen Standards eingebaut. Unter Direktor Rott erfolgte am 14. Oktober 1955 die Wiedereröffnung mit Mozarts Kleiner Nachtmusik, einen Tag später wurde das erste Theaterstück (Grillparzers "König Ottokars Glück und Ende") in der wiederhergestellten "Burg" gespielt.

An unmistakable seabird with its black back and white underparts, and distinctive black head with large pale cheeks and a tall, flattened, brightly-coloured bill. Its comical appearance is heightened by its red and black eye-markings and bright orange legs. Used as a symbol for books and other items, this clown among seabirds is one of the world's favourite birds. Click here to view some facts about puffins.
Breeding
They prefer offshore islands and high seacliffs, and nest in burrows, under boulders or in cracks in cliffs where predators cannot easily reach them. They lay one egg and their young are called pufflings
Trying something a bit less comical, for a bit of a change and mostly because I wanted to lay off the PhotoShop distortions for a bit.
So, er... this is what you get.
Almost went for the other one in the comments below because I think it's a look I've not managed to pull before. Result!
I know you'd love to:

On an ecclesiastical note, one of the highlights of my young life, as a 6-year-old, was meeting Lawrence Cardinal Shehan, a year after Pope Paul VI had elevated him to the College of Cardinals, presiding over the Archdiocese of Baltimore as a Prince of the Church, as Cardinals are called. Chosen by Sister Dominic Marie to be our first-grade "ambassador" on his visit, along with eight other students, K through 8, we greeted him with our pastor, Fr. Adamac, and our school principal, then he stopped in each classroom, giving blessings. It was a big day in Little Bohemia.

(www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Brown_Pelican/id)
Pelecanus occidentalis
ORDER: PELECANIFORMES
FAMILY: PELECANIDAE
The Brown Pelican is a comically elegant bird with an oversized bill, sinuous neck, and big, dark body. Squadrons glide above the surf along southern and western coasts, rising and falling in a graceful echo of the waves. They feed by plunge-diving from high up, using the force of impact to stun small fish before scooping them up. They are fairly common today—an excellent example of a species’ recovery from pesticide pollution that once placed them at the brink of extinction.
Size & Shape
Brown Pelicans are huge, stocky seabirds. They have thin necks and very long bills with a stretchy throat pouch used for capturing fish. Their wings are very long and broad and are often noticeably bowed when the birds are gliding.
Color Pattern
Adult Brown Pelicans are gray-brown birds with yellow heads and white necks. In breeding plumage, the back and sides of the neck turn a rich, dark reddish-brown. Immatures are gray-brown above (including the head and neck) with pale whitish belly and breast.
Behavior
Brown Pelicans feed by plunging into the water, stunning small fish with the impact of their large bodies and scooping them up in their expandable throat pouches. When not foraging, pelicans stand around fishing docks, jetties, and beaches or cruise the shoreline. In flight, lines of pelicans glide on their broad wings, often surfing updrafts along wave faces or cliffs. Their wingbeats are slow, deep, and powerful.
Habitat
Brown Pelicans live along southern and western sea coasts and are rarely seen inland (except at the Salton Sea in California, where they are regular in large numbers). They nest in colonies, often on isolated islands free of land predators
