I love Heinrich Heine! One of my favorites:

"Wenn ich in deine Augen seh, so schwindet all mein Leid und Weh;
Doch wenn ich küsse deinen Mund, so werd ich ganz und gar gesund.

Wenn ich mich lehn' an deine Brust, kommt's über mich wie Himmelslust;
Doch wenn du sprichst: ich liebe dich! So muss ich weinen bitterlich."

Unfortunately, the Austrians are no fans of the operatic settings of Goethe's Faust. Faust is usually a guaranteed flop in Vienna - no matter who is singing. My favorite production a few years ago had the Mephisto character rip his heart out on stage and begin eating it. That caused a mass exodus for the coffee house and heurige crowd even though some of the best music was yet to come.
