The year 2025 saw the bicentennial of the birth of Johann Strauss II celebrated around the world. In Vienna, in particular, events were held every week throughout the year at the State Opera, Musikverein, Konzerthaus, Volksoper, and other venues, and the bicentennial was celebrated with great fanfare by renowned orchestras and artists. The 201st year of the festival would not be complete without the Wiener Waltz by Johann Strauss II!
Starting with the grand ball "Le Grand Bal" at the Hofburg Palace on New Year's Eve, numerous balls will be held in the city of Vienna until early March. It is bitterly cold outside, but inside the palace there is warm air and friendly smiles, smiles, and smiles again. The men wear tails and tuxedos, and the women wear long, gorgeous dresses. The music is waltzes, polkas, cadrilles, and marches, including the Wiener Waltz by Johann Strauss II. Despite the formal atmosphere, the hall is filled with fun and joy as the New Year begins.
This year, the Wiener Waltz Orchestra will again bring the joy and fragrance of the Viennese New Year to the audience, this time for the 25th year, with violin virtuoso Sándor Jávorkai as conductor, performing as if he were Johann Strauss II. While he is an entertainer who loves to entertain the audience, his skill on the violin is first-rate with superb technique. He has joined the Wiener Waltz Orchestra many times as a violinist, and we look forward to seeing how he will perform as a conductor this year! And the four dancers who will be dancing to the beautiful tunes will captivate the audience with their diverse performances, dancing gracefully in the waltz and rhythmically stepping in the polka. Of course, the soprano singers' beautiful voices are also a must-see. The audience will smile as they listen to her noble voice, which shakes the air, and her graceful and sometimes charming singing gestures. The final piece of the concert was the "Radetzky March," which had the entire audience clapping their hands in excitement. This is the perfect concert to start off the New Year, a most happy concert that is fun to see and fun to hear.
