For more than two decades, VIENNAEVENT® has been in charge of the artistic management of the greatest Viennese Opera Balls and Vienna Balls in over 30 countries.

Historic spaces and modern ballrooms in exclusive 5-Star Hotels as well as city halls and open air patios are popular venues for these first class events.

Heinz Heidenreich is in charge of the ball opening choreographies, the debutantes’ Viennese waltz training and exceptional artistic interludes. He looked after the Viennese Opera Ball in New York for 15 consecutive seasons and has become a sought after institution over the years.

The best-known Viennese ball orchestras guarantee the authentic, original sound of the famous Johann Strauss melodies and thus ensure the best atmosphere. 

Singers of international format perform operetta melodies, the VIENNA CITY BALLET® with its dancers of the Vienna State Opera thrills and inspires with Viennese waltzes and polkas.

The famous Audience’s quadrille at midnight is the focal point and most enjoyable and amusing highlight of every Vienna ball. Where Heinz is already known, ball guests will be almost fully assembled on the dance floor as soon as he steps in front of the orchestra.
