From Monday to Friday there are between 28 and 40 pages and on weekends there are even more; the first page has only one article (the most important), and the last one is a summary of the previous day.
The department of the digital press has its own journalists. Although they have a different kind of work, they are in the same building. The digital journalists can show the information more quickly than the others.
An important point is that 1000 copies are printed an hour, they start being printed at 6:30 p.m. They finish at 1:00 in the morning and then it is delivered all around Austria.
After this we visited the building of the “the Press” and looked at the different departments, we went into a storage room with many old issues of "Presse", in fact there were some of the first newspapers as well and a library with many books. We also met the main editor, he explained the daily routine. The first thing a reporter makes in the morning is reading the newspaper and finding out what is going on in the world. At 10 o´clock he is at his desk and talks to this colleagues about the topics and the news. Then every journalist gets his topic and he starts looking for information. At 12 o´clock they all have a meeting and talk about their ideas. In the afternoon they start writing their articles.
To Begin with, some information about the building where the concert took place on the 16th of April:
The Wiener Musikverein in Viena, Austria, was open on the 6th of January of 1870. Is one of the best sound rooms in the world, with the Symphony Hall of Boston and the Concertgebouw Ámsterdam. Is the headquarters of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
The building was built by the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde. The space where it is now, was donated by the Imperator Francisto José I.
The Golden Room is 48 m long, 19 m wide and 18 m high. It has 1.744 seats. Every New Years Day there is the The New Year's Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic celebrated there.
To continue, lets give some personal impressions about the rehearse of the Tonkünstler-Orchester Niederösterreich:
"When I got into the room and the violins, clarinets and all the instruments started to play… I fell in love with the melody, the music notes’ concordance… even though I don’t know too much about music, I noticed that it was something magic. Those two hours passed by like two minutes for me.”
During the rehearse they surprised us with an vocal intervention and they repeated some songs once or twice. All in all, it was a perfect experience and something to remember and tell your friends, because everyone knows the New Year’s Concert.
