Summary/Abstract: Cornel Ungureanu starts the evocation of a legedary figure in the culture of Timişoara (and Europe, in general) from Ioan Holender's event-book, "From Timişoara to Vienna", a superb volume tracing an exceptional - both personal and historical - evolution. The successful head of the State Opera in Vienna is portrayed as the most photogenic man in the history of Timişoara, author of the most beautiful book dedicated to this town and creator of a special international and interpersonal relationship between Romanian, Austrian and European cultures.
