Opera Ball

The Vienna Opera Ball may have a longer tradition and more substantial media coverage, but the Bavarian State Opera’s “Ball der Künste” had such a successful premiere last year that General Music Director Kent Nagano once again extends an invitation to the city. On May 16, the exhibition rooms of the Haus der Kunst will be turned into a ball house and the Savoy Dance Orchestra will waltz guests through the night. Bavarian State Opera stars Peter Seiffert and Anja Harteros will appear together with the Bavarian State Orchestra. Tickets, including dinner, cost € 198–998 and can be ordered by calling 21 85 19 20 or at www.staatsoper.de. Proceeds will benefit the UNICEF project “Schools for Africa.” <<<
