Vienna Opera Ball
The glamorous Vienna Opera Ball, held at the State Opera, is a tête-à-tête for some 5000 international socialites, and the highlight of Vienna's long ball season. If you can't waltz, there's also a swing, foxtrot and Opera Ball disco.
Those with two left feet can simply enjoy the show, as a ballroom full
of couples swirl to the romantic waltzes of Johann Strauss. Networking
is another option - where better to chat up the stars from opera,
theatre, business and politics?
As you can probably imagine,
competition for tickets is fierce and you can only apply for them in
writing or by fax (and not by email). It's best to apply as early as
possible, even as soon as the day after the previous year's ball. Don't
be surprised if you are added to a waiting list, and, if you are one of
the lucky few, you'll receive a letter by post telling you that you've
been successful. If you don't want to fork out hundreds of euros then
there is a dress rehearsal held every year (2 March in 2011) where
tickets are a snip in comparison.
