Overview
Don your finest ball gown or grab your tailcoat; the enchantment of the ballroom beckons!
Leap out of your seat and back in time to an era of golden opulence, as we celebrate 200 years of the king of the Viennese waltz, Johann Strauss II. Dance your way through Strauss’ most iconic music, from the famous Blue Danube to the humorous Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka.
You might be a waltz aficionado, or have two left-feet - either way, conductor Gábor Káli and QSO have music fit for a decadent evening. Come and live your best period drama dreams, and delight in one of the most anticipated birthday celebrations of 2025!
