SEASON OF BALLS AND GALAS IN VIENNA - capital city of Austria.
The ball season in Vienna kicks off with the Vienna Red Cross Ball in the City Hall (21st November 2014). On New Year’s Eve, guests dance into the New Year in a magnificent setting at the New Year’s Eve Ball at the Hofburg Vienna (Imperial Palace). Numerous other famous ball events are held here as well, such as the Hunters' Ball (26th January 2015), the Doctors' Ball (31st January 2015) and the Lawyers' Ball (14th February 2015).
The Coffee-house Owners' Ball (6th February 2015) is one of the most atmospheric. Each year it brings about 5,000 visitors to Vienna's Imperial Palace and into the Redoutensäle. Many of the guests end the night at Café Landtmann, to which they are transported in a fiaker shuttle, true to style.
The Opera Ball (12th February 2015) at the Vienna State Opera is legendary. On this one day, visitors have the unique opportunity to see the famous opera house on Ringstrasse not only from the spectators' seats but actually experience it "backstage" surrounded by many music celebrities.
The Vienna Philharmonic (22nd January 2015) opens the doors to its ball at the Vienna Musikverein. However, at this event the musicians of this world-famous orchestra can only be found with their instruments during the introduction. Because even the performers of the Vienna Philarmonic want to shake a leg now and then.
The sweetest ball is the Bonbon Ball (13th February 2015) at the Wiener Konzerthaus. This ball is known for its fun and informal ambiance. The Strauss Brothers once celebrated their greatest accomplishments at the Vienna Kursalon - where visitors can now dance to the tune of waltzes at the Johann Strauss Ball (14 February 2015).
For the Flower Ball (16th January 2015), City Hall transforms into a unique sea of flowers under the motto "150 years of the Ringstrasse" in 2015. Also being held in City Hall this year is the first Viennese Ball of the Sciences (31st January 2015), which represents Vienna’s entire research and higher education landscape in all its diversity, internationality and excellence.
