The Strauss Gala
Don your finest ball gown or grab your tailcoat; the enchantment of 19th-Century Vienna beckons!
Step back in time to an era of golden opulence, as we celebrate 200 years of the king of the Viennese waltz, Johann Strauss II – all from the comfort of your seat.
Sit back and tap your toes (in 3/4 time) through Strauss’ most iconic music, from the famous Blue Danube to the humorous Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka.
You might be a waltz aficionado, or a simply a lover of Strauss, 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!
