Hal Prince in Vienna Multi-Model – Ultramicro Architecture Series

I’m really proud of this one! Arguably my favorite city in the world, the Austrian capital of Vienna is not only gorgeous, but has come to represent an unparalleled standard of excellence in the arts. Naturally, the late, towering Hal Prince had a great affinity for the city, where eight of his legendary original Broadway productions (as director) enjoyed their successful German-language premieres and multiple return engagements there under his supervision. Moreover, his celebrated Turandot for the Wiener Staatsoper spent over two decades in their repertory. This entry in my ultramicro architecture series features five of those productions, most in the theaters where they premiered (except ALNM and Cabaret). All models in this bundle are fully-buildable (with custom decals). At this scale, people are only a tiny 0.8 studs (0.252in/6.4mm) tall!
