What distinguishes the Grazer Opernredoute from other balls?
The perfect mix of our architectural setting, beau- tiful interior spaces, excellent artistic programmes, first-class culinary delights, prominent guests from the worlds of culture, business and politics and a good dose of relaxed togetherness and an enthusiasm for dancing make the Opernredoute a truly unique event.

Which programme highlights can you offer us this time?
The Grazer Philharmoniker, soloists, ballet and ballet school performance and the Graz Opera choir together with a carefully chosen opening committee will all culminate in a brilli- ant show. At midnight, it is an absolute highlight when our singers, together with our dancers, bring musical happiness to the stage.

How do you manage to adapt the event to the current zeitgeist?
It was Heraclitus who already stated that change is the only constant in life - and we’ve always stuck by this notion at the Opernredoute.

Which of the ball’s traditions could you personally never abstain from?
The grand opening, the midnight show, our impressive facilities, the best restaurateurs in our region and the wonderful artists, are all components of the Opernredoute’s DNA, together with our fantastic guests, of course.
