On Friday, January 24, 2025, from 8:00 PM until the early morning hours of January 25, Palác Žofín on Slovanský Island in Prague 1 will shine with elegance and a festive atmosphere.
The 23rd Austrian Ball, considered the highlight of Prague’s ball season, will transport its guests into the magical world of Viennese balls, where tradition, music, and dance create a perfect symphony.
The evening will begin with a grand opening ceremony featuring a traditional dance performance by young couples and the call “Alles Walzer!” officially opening the dance floor. At midnight, guests can look forward to an unforgettable quadrille led by Viennese dance master Michael Hysek. Each lady will receive a small gift, the traditional Damenspende, as a keepsake of this extraordinary event.
The musical program promises variety and top quality. The ball’s headliners include the band ADOVANY and the charismatic singer Jan Smigmator, dubbed the “Czech Sinatra.” Performances will also feature the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, Josef Hlavsa’s Orchestra, virtuoso pianist Mário Bihári, and DJ Adam Nedvídek, who will bring modern beats to the disco in the Small Hall.
In addition to music and dance, guests can enjoy a wide range of culinary delights. The Taittinger Champagne Lounge will offer premium champagne and tapas, while the Weiner Café Bar will serve delicious cocktails and Viennese specialties. For wine lovers, a selection of the finest Austrian wines will be available.
The legendary “taxi dancers” will be on hand to ensure every lady has a delightful evening—whether attending without a partner or simply taking a break from their companions.
Inspired by traditional Viennese celebrations, this ball is a perfect opportunity for all who love elegance, dance, and unique experiences. Immerse yourself in the magic of this extraordinary event!
