Among other delights, the programme includes famous waltzes, marches and polkas by Johann Strauss evoking the Vienna of the 19th century.

As a symbol of the empire of Franz Joseph and Queen Elisabeth (Sissi), this elegant and refined music has become an indispensable part of the concert repertoire. No festive season is complete without the classic Great Strauss New Year Gala, where the unforgettable melodies of the The Blue Danube waltz, Tales from the Vienna Woods, The Emperor Waltz and the Radetzky March are always met with a storm of enthusiastic applause from the audience.

The Strauss Festival Orchestra is a frequent guest of Europe’s most prestigious concert halls, and their concerts – and the music of Johann Strauss – are attracting an increasing number of music-lovers. Fans of the genre will be able to enjoy not only a superb orchestra, but also the splendid voice of the accompanying soprano soloist and an outstanding ballet performance. In other words, this concert will provide an experience that lasts long in the audience’s memory.

The Great Johann Strauss Gala and Ballet promises an unforgettable experience for all!
