I am thrilled to announce that I will be visiting Salzburg, Austria, soon as a guest of the Naturhotel Forsthofgut. This is my first sponsored travel blog, and I cannot wait to share my experiences with you all.
As an iconic destination for classical music and the birthplace of Mozart, Salzburg is a city deeply rooted in art and culture. The Salzburg Festival runs throughout the Summer and having the opportunity to sample the atmosphere and delve into the city’s fascinating past is a real treat for me. Then to cap it all by unwinding at the hotel’s amazing spa amenities and exploring the beautiful mountains surrounding it will no doubt be a high point of my Summer.
Here is a little Mozart to set the mood :
In other news, I recently sang the role of Maria Bertram in the production of Mansfield Park, produced by the Waterperry Opera Festival. The show received a positive review, which you can read via the following link:
Did you know that Mansfield Park was published in 1814, when Thomas Hardwick designed St Marylebone Parish Church (1813-1817)? It’s fascinating to think that Jane Austen may have visited the same church where we performed.
Overall, I am eager to share my experiences in Salzburg with you. Stay tuned for more updates on my exciting journey!
I look forward to journeying with you. Thank you for the beautiful Mozart! You are always a bright spot in my life, dear Charlotte.
Aww thats a lovely thing to say, thank you so much Annette. I’m going to put some more videos on my YouTube now I’ve finished sending them off for competitions and auditions for this year.
Best wishes

Salzburg is a lovely place, and the mountains around it are even lovelier. I know you hardly need to be told this but: enjoy Austria – you will not see many more beautiful countries.
The hotel that I’m staying in is in the mountains it sounds perfect.
Best wishes
Charlotte
Sounds like a lovely time. I will look forward to your post
Thank you John, I missed travelling during covid. I hope that I can capture the essence of Salzburg and find out more about it.
Best wishes
Charlotte
I’m sure you’ll have a great time
Wish we could have seen the Mansfield Park, it sounded great from the review! We have tickets for Jane Eyre! and the girls have promised to make sure that we (or I) attend, so hope to see and hear you in September.
In previous years I’ve performed in the Manor House at Waterperry so a church setting was different for me, it allowed for a much bigger audience which was fabulous. I’m so pleased to hear that I may see you in September I’ve got so much to tell you.

Have a wonderful time. I look forward to more.
I’m really looking forward to going, George couldn’t come with me so I persuaded my parents to join me. My Mum keeps singing the songs from the Sound of Music but she only knows a couple of lines from each one! 😂

Good luck in Salzburg! I look forward to hearing about your experience. I enjoyed the aria you posted 🙂 You have been to a few places now, so, when are you coming to Boston? lol
I would love to come to Boston! I have been to New York a couple of times and went down the coast and I’d love to see more.
I am really looking forward to sharing my adventure with you all.

You are very welcome! 🙂
What a marvelous review that is for you and your fellow cast members! The critics know talent and class when they see it.
Listened to your tape – outstanding once again. And I look forward to your travel posts, as I know you will be enjoying it immensely!
I’m hoping to do some more recording this year, it is very expensive and much harder to book when you aren’t studying but I have more older videos to share with you all now so watch this space.
It’s quite exciting to be invited to experience Salzburg, I can practise my German skills.

Excellent!
The Salzburg Festival, what an event to go to. Have fun. And nice to read the Austen opera got the good review.
It’s a great little opera and we all enjoy working together. They’ve got some more shows together this summer but I’d already booked another job so couldn’t join them. Salzburg woo hoo 😆 a great treat.
Best wishes
Charlotte
And a great honor.
The Salzburg festival – I’ve always wanted to go! Looking forward to your posts!
Thank you Noelle, I’ve always wanted to go too.
Best wishes
Charlotte
How exciting! I’ve heard so much about the Salzburg festival and now I’m looking forward to getting a glimpse of it through your experience. I had no idea Mansfield Park had been turned into an opera!
Same. I’ve heard about it but never been so it will be great to see it with fresh eyes. The Mansfield Park is a lovely contemporary opera, my character is nice but naughty and she is not very nice to Mr Rushworth who adores her, in real life Laurence is so lovely I can’t speak to him for ten minutes before we go on so that I can get into an intolerant mood with him.

So beautiful Charlotte. I love Salzburg.
Did you ever post about Salzburg Cindy? I can’t wait.

It is very exciting to travel to new places. My parents traveled to Europe many times and always said Salzburg was their favorite place. I look forward to stories from your stay there and your musical adventures.
Oh, that’s exciting to hear John, well travelled people thought it was the best place to go, eep I’m even more excited now.
I’m going to share more videos soon.

Such a beautiful voice ~ a perfect way to enjoy my morning with your video and the incredible news of your planned adventures in Salzburg, Austria… It is the iconic destination for classical music, and of course the brilliance of Mozart which I think will transport you to new heights creatively. Congratulations to you on this new adventure ~ take care.
Thank you Randal, I’ve put up a few more songs this week. I’m very excited for my trip. You take care too.

What a pretty song, Charlotte!
You sing it wonderfully! Thank you.. what a treat!
You act it beautifully, too!
Update: I just sent you an email with a gown update. There are a few photos in it. My Art Gowns posts tend to be a month apart, so the next one should be your gown!

Resa, I can’t wait to see the photos, I’ll respond asap. I’ve been so up to my neck in work I’m just enjoying this opportunity to relax in the mountains of Austria.
