30 September: Mozart's Magic Flute premieres, and a bowl of Kaspressknödelsuppe
On 30 September 1791 Mozart conducted the first night of The Magic Flute in Vienna. Mozart grew up in Salzburg, in the Austrian Alps, so we serve the Alpine favourite: cheese dumplings floating in clear broth.

Kaspressknödelsuppe is a hearty Alpine soup of fried cheese dumplings in clear broth, typical of Tyrol and other mountain regions of Austria. The dumplings are made from cubes of day-old bread soaked in milk and mixed with egg, onion, parsley and plenty of strong grated mountain cheese such as Bergkäse.
