    The Opernbrunnen is a fountain standing in the grounds of the State Opera House in Vienna. It’s a circular fountain composed of the main basin and two smaller circular dishes in the centre, separated by columns. The upper dish is topped with an allegory of music, while between the two dishes are female allegories to joy, dance and levity The sculptures are classically inspired characters wearing Greco-Roman robes with attention paid to the details of the robes and folds. The fountain is in the main tourist district of Vienna and it’s worth a quick look.

    Richard Strauss Fountain, born in 1864 in Munich, is the son of Franz Strauss, who was the principal trumpet player in the Munich Court Orchestra. This fountain is one of the most beautiful fountains located directly in front of the Vienna Court Opera building, and it is part of a single architectural group that harmoniously complements the spatial environment. It is one of the favorite places for taking pictures, and if you see it, know that you have arrived at the beginning of the city center.

    These fountains are located in front of the Vienna State Opera in Vienna.There are a pair of marble fountains beautifully crafted. The left fountain is known as the Music Fountain, and the right fountain is known as the Lorelei Fountain.

    Richard Strauss: He was born on June 11, 1864 in Munich, Bavaria, the son of Franz Strauss (1822–1905), who was the main horn player in the Munich Court Orchestra and later a professor at the Academy of Music. His mother Josephine (1838–1910) came from the famous Pschorr brewing dynasty, one of Munich's richest families. He received his basic musical education from his father and wrote his first work at the age of six; from that time until his death he composed almost continuously. The graceful fountain, located directly at the building of the Vienna Court Opera, is part of a single architectural ensemble, harmoniously complementing the overall spatial environment. It is one of the favorite places for photo shoots of numerous tourists vacationing in the Austrian capital.
