Description
Hundreds of revellers flocked to Vienna's Central Cemetery on Friday to attend a graveyard concert commemorating the famous site's 150th birthday, doing justice to the local expression "Death must be a Viennese". The vast cemetery on the outskirts of the Austrian capital is Europe's second largest, comprising around 330,000 graves spread out over 2.5 square kilometres (620 acres). Tens of thousands of tourists as well as locals visit the Central Cemetery each month to stroll along the tree-lined avenues and tombs of many famous figures. But as night fell Friday, Nino Mandl, a local singer-songwriter known as "Der Nino aus Wien", performed the last of three "cemetery sessions" to celebrate the anniversary. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
