With a view of the gates of the Wiener Stadthalle and the fans flocking to the quarter-final matches of the Erste Bank Open, one of those magical moments that you can't plan happened early on Friday afternoon: Opus members Ewald Pfleger (guitar) and Günter Grasmuck (drums) performed two songs together with the “Schick Sisters”. First the joint song “Good or bad”, then - of course - a great live version of “Live is life”.

The audience, including some of the tournament players and Thomas Muster, applauded enthusiastically and loudly demanded an encore.
