#25 Ben Glassberg: Conducting the Symphony of Vienna’s Charm
Meet Ben Glassberg, the dynamic young conductor from the UK who has quickly become a beloved figure in Vienna since his arrival in 2023. Starting 2024, Ben takes on the prestigious role of Music Director at the Wiener Volksoper, a position he embraced without hesitation. Both the city of Vienna and his orchestra won his heart at first sight, setting the stage for an exciting musical journey.
In this episode, Ben shares the whirlwind of his special day in Vienna – juggling two performances and a son in the hospital. But with Vienna's great healthcare system, easy bike access to nearly everywhere, and locals who are often less "grantig" (grumpy) than they might initially seem, everything turned out just fine.
Get to know this cool, spirited, and energetic conductor as he talks about his experiences, his deep love for Vienna, and his journey with the German language – a must for classical opera and TV interviews, but something Ben navigates with grace.

#24 Rahul Raman: On Finding His-Self and His "Schatz"
Rahul Raman hails from New Delhi, India, and has been calling Vienna home since 2019. A talented programmer, Rahul's journey to Vienna was driven by destiny and his true love, his "Schatz." He describes his time in Vienna as the best of his life, filled with joy and laughter. Whether it's in front of the Karlskirche, at the Prater, or on the Donauinsel (how cool is it to have a swimming island in the middle of the city?), Vienna is the perfect place for Rahul.
Why is Vienna so special to Rahul? In India, coming out is often challenging for many, but Vienna gave him the space and courage he needed. Despite some ongoing challenges for the LGBTQIA+ community, Rahul has found a place where he can truly be himself, both in his personal life and career — Love without lies!
Of course, the transition wasn't without its hurdles. The population density in India is much greater than in Vienna, and the diversity is different. Yet, Rahul has adapted and now considers Vienna his home. As for learning German, he's playing a bit of hide-and-seek with the language but is determined to improve, knowing that Viennese appreciate the effort.
Rahul’s message is simple and heartfelt: Spread love and be happy!
