Now I told you Natalia played a mean violin.
Okay, the Belvedere.
The construction of the Upper Belvedere began as early as 1717,
as testified by two letters that Prince Eugene sent from Belgrade
to his servant Beneditti in the summer of 1718,
describing the progress of the work on the palace.
["Pomp and Circumstance"]
Construction was so far advanced that by October 2nd, 1719,
the Prince was able to have the Turkish ambassador, Ibrahim Pasha,
over for Apple Tea.

["Pomp and Circumstance"]
The garden designed in a formal French manner by Dominique Girard
with his great water bathed in the upper parts of the air
and the stairs and cascades, people by nymphs and goddesses,
links upper and lower Belvedere.

So let's find out why such a young girl like Natalia
ended up playing Violet in the orchestra.
Basically, so I'm studying and I'm playing with a lot of orchestras.
And throughout my studies, I was a member of a youth orchestra in Austria also.
And I just, I was, I like to be a part of a group
because this kind of, when you're playing in a group,
you produce a huge amount of sound
when you are like involving 120 people on the stage
and everyone is like blown away with the sound.
And I was getting a lot of experiences in many, many different orchestras
also in Europe and in Serbia and Bosnia.
And I was, I'm playing now in an orchestra called Vienna Chamber Orchestra.
And I got there as a, I had an audition, I had to play for them
and they picked me and now they call me all the time.
I mean, they're functioning, it's not like a regular orchestra.
They're like, they don't have like daily, daily schedules.
They have like, they're based on projects.
So they have around two or three projects a month
and I'm playing not always, but it's what I can
and what I decide I want, which is the best for me.
At this point, yeah.
Nice.
On the 30th of November, 1697,
one year after commencing with the construction of the Stad Palace,
Prince Eugene purchased a sizable plot of land south of the Renwick.
The main road to Hungary.
Plans for the Belvedere Garden complex were drawn up immediately.
The Prince chose Joe and Lucas van Hildbrandt
as the chief architect for this project.
So how does it feel when you're playing in front of all those people?
Wow, I believe that for any kind of stage presence
or to express your emotions, you have to be a very,
you have to have a huge ego.
You have to, first you have to love yourself.
You have to love what you do and you have to enjoy what you're doing
because the point is that you are like, even when you talk
or when you sing or when you, I don't know, when you're acting,
you need to get into this emotion.
And you have to wake up these emotions from the people that are listening to you.
So basically, yeah, and in the end there, there comes this applause,
which is like the reward of your work, you know?
And I cannot describe this feeling.
Basically, I'm enjoying it so much.
I have a huge ego.
And I'm enjoying it really a lot because I'm,
I love when I see like those smile faces when they're like listening to me
or that means that even if I, maybe it's a bad emotion
or like sadness or I don't know, they're afraid or I don't know,
but influenced by the music, it's very nice when you can like share it
with people. That's the best feeling ever.
Wow, you sound kind of like myself, full of myself.
I thought you were going to talk about me for one second
because I thought you were talking about me when you were saying that.
No, no.
No, I'm just joking.
Next, we're off to the Museum Quartier.
