Starting with the Hofburg Vienna&#8217;s <strong>Kaiserball <\/strong>(Imperial Ball) on New Year&#8217;s Eve to the <strong>School of Dancing Ball<\/strong>, there are hundreds of <strong>Vienna balls<\/strong> to choose from.<\/p>\n<p>If you love classical music and ever dreamed about waltzing to the tune of classic <strong>Viennese waltzes<\/strong>, Vienna is certainly the place to be in the new year. Don&#8217;t worry if you&#8217;re rusty on your waltz steps or if you think you may have &#8216;two left feet&#8217;,\u00a0 as there are refresher courses and weekend classes that you turn you into Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.<\/p>\n<p>Many of Vienna&#8217;s professions and gilds organize their own themed <strong>Viennese ball<\/strong> which is open to the public, as long as you&#8217;ve purchased your tickets.<\/p>\n<div class=\"adLargerect\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1009507070974015\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7417206609\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>The grand <strong>Vienna ball <\/strong>is the <strong>Kaiserball <\/strong>which attracts 2,500 guests from Austrian royalty, the elite of Austrian society and visitors from all over the world each year. Imagine waltzing to the music of the <strong>Blue Danube <\/strong>and other great waltzes to usher in the New Year!\u00a0 It gives me goosebumps just thinking about how absolutely glamorous this event is.<\/p>\n<h4>Some interesting balls:<\/h4>\n<p>The <strong>Flower Ball<\/strong> is held by the garden workers of Vienna city. This is the traditionally colourful <em>&#8220;night of flowers&#8221; <\/em>held at the Viennese town hall.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most high-profile balls is the <strong>Vienna Philharmonic Ball<\/strong>. This world famous orchestra holds its ball in the Golden Hall of the <strong>Musikverein<\/strong>, one of the world&#8217;s most imposing concert halls. Many of the global television viewers of the <strong>Vienna Philharmonic&#8217;s New Year&#8217;s Day Concert <\/strong>will be familiar with this concert hall. As a keen fan of this New Year&#8217;s Day concert, this would be one of my choice balls to attend.<\/p>\n<p>The <em><strong>&#8220;Ball der Technik&#8221; <\/strong><\/em>(Engineers&#8217; Ball) is the Viennese ball with the oldest tradition. Many famous students studied at the &#8220;Polytechnisches Institut&#8221;, before they embarked on their careers as musicians, composers, etc., including Johann and Joseph Strau\u00df brothers.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Vienna Opera Ball<\/strong> is rated as the top-calibre social event in Vienna.\u00a0 Held at Vienna&#8217;s magnificent <strong>State Opera House<\/strong>, this very formal event attracts celebrities from around the globe. So, if you love opera, here&#8217;s your chance to waltz amongst the rich and famous. With ticket prices ranging from \u20ac160 to \u20ac17,000, there&#8217;s no doubt that there are the rich at this event.<\/p>\n<p>As a coffee addict, the <strong>Ball of the Viennese Coffee House Owners<\/strong> grabbed my attention. With a capacity of 5,000 guests, this is Vienna&#8217;s largest ball and is very popular with locals. Regarded as a lower key version of the <strong>Vienna Opera Ball<\/strong>, it has typically Viennese ambience and tickets are very affordable at \u20ac110.<\/p>\n<p>If waltzing into the New Year is one of your dreams, Vienna is the place to be to dance out that dream.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on <strong>Vienna&#8217;s Ball Season <\/strong>see the Austrian Tourist Information site at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.austria.info.com.\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.austria.info.com.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.classictic.com?location=search&amp;lang=en&amp;country=Austria&amp;city=Vienna&amp;date=0&amp;venue_id=0&amp;composer_id=0&amp;artist_id=0&amp;page=1&amp;r=441&amp;partner=Travel-Signposts\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Search for hundreds of Vienna classical music events and Book online through our partner Classictic HERE<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Things to do in Vienna<\/h3>\n<div data-tiqets-widget=\"discovery\" data-city-id=\"60335\" data-language=\"en\" data-currency=\"EUR\" data-tq-campaign=\"innsbruck\" data-partner=\"travelsignposts\" data-cards-layout=\"vertical\" data-width=\"634\" data-height=\"750\"><\/div>\n<p><script defer src=\"https:\/\/widgets.tiqets.com\/loader.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dance out your Dreams at one of Vienna&#8217;s Balls: New Year&#8217;s Eve brings on the best of Vienna&#8217;s ball season and from January up to Lent the Austrian capital transforms itself into the waltzing capital.
