The Viennese charm, there is nothing more beautiful than to let yourself be carried away an evening in the world of Viennese waltzes. Before 200 years Johan Strauss (father) was born: the undisputed ruler of the kingdom of the three-four time, the ‘Waltz King’, as he once called Richard Wagner. Through him and his sons Johann, Josef and Eduard, who emulated him soon, the waltz into the most important dance of the 19th century. The Strauss family raised the light music on a level not previously known before. The foundation stone for this purpose put Johann Strauss (father) with his orchestra, he gave the Viennese waltz its specific shape and thus met exactly the taste of a wide audience. However, the title of the waltz king made him soon his own son Johann dispute that developed the waltz to that art form that we so admire today.
Be enchanted by the gorgeous lilting music of the Strauss family while enjoying an unforgettable evening with the Vienna Belvedere ballet ensemble, the singer Joanna Luto and the Vienna Belvedere Salon Orchestra directed by Michael Landchek; Violinist, conductor, moderation.
