Here are two of Austria's hottest destinations - but which one's for you?
Look, I get it - Mozart is awesome and The Sound of Music is one of my favourite things. How can you not love a musical about a lovestruck nun, a Camilla-esque baroness and kids who Do-Re-Mi their way to humiliating Nazis? But arguing you have to go to Salzburg to appreciate Wolfgang and Julie is like saying Vienna is the only place you can have a schnitzel. Or tafelspitz, milchrahmstrudel, palatschinken, knodel or sachertorte, if you're really Austria hungry. If you can only appreciate the Von Trapps high on a hill with a lonely goatherd, or worse, if your schnitty has to have a geographical imperative, we're all stuffed like a frankfurter, or wurst.

Watch Rachel Zegler sing a classic 'Sound of Music' song in the style of Billie Eilish
Rachel Zegler impresses with a rendition of a classic Sound of Music song — but with a Billie Eilish twist — in a new singing lesson with Entertainment Weekly. The star of Disney's live-action Snow White remake shares her top five tips for elevating one's vocal game in the segment. In addition to stressing the importance of warm ups and finding one's voice, the Broadway baby speaks about establishing one's style as lesson no. 3 — "and not the song by Taylor Swift, though we love that song," Zegler quips. Related: Snow White review: Disney's best live-action remake is the fairest of them all, thanks to Rachel Zegler "It's very important when you are singing to understand what you're singing for," she says. "That sometimes means understanding your audience or understanding the material to a certain degree. Do you want to sing it like a pop star? Do you want to sing it like a rock star? Do you want to sing it like Creed? Do you want to sing it like you're doing opera?""A lot of pop stars nowadays have many different styles," Zegler continues, citing Lady Gaga and Chappell Roan, who both use a "very chesty voice and at times a very musical theatery approach. But "if you were going to be singing in a pop style," Zegler adds, "sometimes people are singing in what the internet dubs 'in cursive,' and that's what a lot of pop stars do as well." Further demonstrating her lesson, Zegler then launches into a snippet of "Do-Re-Mi," sung by Julie Andrews in the 1965 romance musical The Sound of Music, in the style of Eilish. The stylish snippet occurs around the 5:30 minute mark of the lesson. "That's more of a Billie Eilish approach to singing a song like that," Zegler explains. "It's just a beautiful quality to her voice. She can so much vocal gymnastics with what she does in all of her different records."

Gal Gadot stars as the Evil Queen, while Andrew Burnap plays Jonathan, an updated version of the prince that evokes Robin Hood. 'When it came to reimagining the role of Snow White, it became about the fairest of them all, meaning: Who is the most just? And who can become a fantastic leader?' Zegler previously told EW of the updated version. "Snow White has to learn a lot of lessons about coming into her own power before she can come into power over a kingdom.' Snow White is in theaters now. Watch Zegler's singing lesson above. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly
