berlin_bearA young opera fan is looking for advice.

He writes:

I find myself in Berlin this August, and have a couple questions which I was hoping you would be able to point me in the right direction! (Or put me in touch with someone who will have answers!)

1. What is the best way to find out what classical music and opera is happening in Berlin (in August, I might add – “off-season”)

2. Does anyone know anything about student priced tickets at the Salzburg Festival? Best places to stay?

Those of you who have relevant and non-harassing type answers to offer may email Adam.
