Suites, stylists and dinners for the week

Every winter, the Vienna State Opera turns its stalls into a ballroom for a single night. The Vienna Opera Ball 2027 takes place on Thursday 4 February, the high point of a ball season that fills the city from New Year to Lent. Debutante couples open the evening; dancing continues until the early hours.

The night

The ball takes place at the Vienna State Opera on the Ring. Entry tickets, tables and the famous boxes are sold only by the Vienna State Opera, and boxes are among the most sought-after places in European social life. We plan everything around them: the suite, the car, the dinner before and the breakfast after.

White tie

The dress code is strict: white tie for gentlemen and full-length evening gowns for ladies. Tailoring, hire, styling, hair and make-up are best booked well in advance, especially for guests travelling in.

Where to stay

The grand hotels on the Ring and around the Opera are committed early for ball week. A suite within walking distance turns a long night into an easy one.

The ball season

The Opera Ball is the summit of a season of hundreds of balls in Vienna, from the Philharmonic Ball to the Coffee House Owners’ Ball. Combine the night with concerts at the Musikverein, the museums of the Ringstrasse and a dinner at one of the city’s great restaurants.
