Once a year, the Vienna State Opera transforms into the most beautiful and elegant ballroom in the world: for the Vienna Opera Ball.

Where opera and ballet performances enchant the audience a few days before and after the Opera Ball,
5,500 visitors celebrate and dance until dawn.

Stars from the opera and ballet, the orchestra of the Vienna State Opera and the Vienna State Ballet create the glamorous opening, and many millions of viewers watch on television as 150 young couples fulfil their dream of dancing the first polonaise on this unique parquet in the Young Ladies' and Gentlemen's Committee. Afterwards, it's »Alles Walzer!«

The introductory matinee to the season's premieres, moderated and led by State Opera Director Bogdan Roščić, unfolds a map of the opera terrain. Central aspects of the work are discussed, with particular emphasis on the scenic and musical conception of the new productions. In conversations and interviews, participants in the premieres talk about their role models and their thoughts on the characters, and musical interludes round off the picture. A morning for everyone who wants to experience the new production even more intensively. 

→ Attendance at the introductory matinee is free for subscribers, newsletter recipients, the U27 audience and members of the Official Circle of Friends of the Vienna State Opera.
