Where a Vienna Opera Ball can still take place this year

The managing director of the Svabek dance school and former master of ceremonies at the Vienna Opera Ball also helps Roman Svabek With. “I’ll also do a bit of Viennese cultural mediation and explain that it’s okay with the waltz if you get close and it’s not immediately disreputable,” he laughed. “But I’m also glad that Sandra takes care of the choreography.”

Incidentally, since the ball has existed, she is the first woman to do it. “It seems to me that I’m doing a bit of pioneering work here. If it’s in your head that a man was always responsible for it, it’s a challenge to prove that a woman can do it at least as well “.

And for the perfect appearance, of course, a dress by a designer was also necessary Michel Mayer here, which turned out to be rather simple. “I know it’s not the classic opera ball dress, but I need a dress that I can move in and that doesn’t tear when I raise my arm.” But she still feels a bit of a princess feeling. Roman Svabek also described the ball as “something magical in one of the wildest cities in the world”.
