- 01A palace on the Ring
- 02A fitted tailcoat, a ball gown and waltz lessons
- 03A chauffeur until dawn
Independent house · not affiliated with the Vienna State Opera (Wiener Staatsoper) or its Opera Ball Office
Vienna, 1877
The Court Opera had moved to the Ring eight years earlier, and the emperor wanted no dancing there. Yet on 11 December 1877 a first soirée is held, and the guests dance past midnight.
Three formats
What we compose around the ball.
Three starting points, never three packages. The final composition is built on your brief.
02
An accompanied stay
The stay, plus the attire, the waltz, the tables and the chauffeur.

03
The complete programme
The whole stay, orchestrated end to end, from the private flight to the return at dawn.
Start from this formatEach format is assembled to measure. None includes a ticket, table or box at the ball. Availability and terms for each service are confirmed before any commitment.
Four parts
What we actually arrange.
Four distinct undertakings, which can be taken separately or together. None of them consists of selling a ticket to the ball.
Each part is composed on request and subject to availability. Nothing is booked in advance, nothing is sold from a catalogue.
The night
The Thursday of the ball, step by step.
The night belongs to its guests, and we show nothing of it. Here is what surrounds it, composed by us — for those who have their tickets, as for those who spend that evening in Vienna another way.
The afternoon
- The afternoon
The last waltz step
A private lesson at the quiet hour, to find the left turn again without thinking. The rest of the day is yours alone.
- Late afternoon
The attire
The tailcoat and the ball gown wait in the suite, fitted the day before. Hair and make-up are timed to the hour of departure.
- Around 8 pm
The departure
A long coat over the shoulders, the car waits outside the hotel. A few minutes to the Opera, as the doors open, before the Federal President arrives.
- At dawn
The return
After one quadrille, or the last. The chauffeur waits at the agreed spot, at the agreed hour; the room is ready, the curtains drawn.
- The day after
The late lunch
A table booked for early afternoon, without haste. The flight home awaits, or one more night in Vienna; everything is already planned.
An indicative example: each stay is composed to measure, nothing is booked in advance, and no ticket to the ball is part of it.
Our way of working
All you will have to do is waltz.
- 01
A single point of contact
The same person follows your request from the first exchange to the return at dawn.
- 02
End-to-end coordination
Address, attire, waltz, tables and journeys are thought through together, not stacked.
- 03
Candour from the start
We tell you early what is realistic — and that the ticket to the ball does not go through us.
- 04
Trilingual service
French, English, Spanish — for you as for your guests.
- 05
Confidentiality
Names, amounts and programmes stay between us.
- 06
Private or corporate
The same care, whether the request is personal or made by a company.

Your enquiry
Tell us about the experience you have in mind. A dedicated concierge will return with confirmable options tailored to your priorities.
TGZ Conciergerie is an independent house with no official affiliation: we are linked neither to the Vienna State Opera (Wiener Staatsoper) nor to its Opera Ball Office. Entry tickets, table places, boxes and spectator tickets for the Opera Ball are sold exclusively by the organiser; we sell, buy and resell none, and promise no access and no place on the opening committee. We arrange the stay in Vienna around the night — hotel, attire, waltz lessons, tables, transfers — whose availability is confirmed to you before any commitment.
The detail
What to know before you ask.
Entry tickets, table places, boxes and spectator tickets are sold exclusively by the Opera Ball Office of the Vienna State Opera, which does not accept orders from tour operators or resellers. We sell none and explain the allocation calendar to you. What we arrange is real and verifiable: the palace, the attire, the waltz, the tables, the chauffeur.
The opening is danced by some one hundred and sixty debutant couples, chosen by the Opera on a couple's application and audition: aged 18 to 27 on the day of the ball, with a very good left-turning waltz. For 2027, applications are closed. We can neither support nor promise an application; we gladly arrange the stay of selected couples and their families.
The ball takes place on Thursday 4 February 2027: doors at 8.15 pm, opening at 10 pm, end at 5 am. We advise arriving the day before, for final fittings and a margin in case of snow, and keeping the following night to rest.
The dress code published by the Opera is strict: black tailcoat, white dress shirt, white bow tie and black patent shoes for men, or a gala uniform; a floor-length ball gown, in any colour, for women. No dirndl or traditional costume. A dinner jacket is not enough.
Frequently asked
Frequently asked questions
No. Entry tickets, table places, boxes and spectator tickets are sold exclusively by the Opera Ball Office of the Vienna State Opera, directly to guests; the Opera does not accept orders from tour operators or resellers, and may block any tickets allocated to them. TGZ sells none; we explain the allocation calendar and arrange the whole stay around it. Our guide How to Attend the Vienna Opera Ball details how it really works.
On Thursday 4 February 2027, for the 69th edition, according to the organiser. Doors open at 8.15 pm, the formal opening begins at 10 pm, and the ball ends at 5 am. By tradition, the ball takes place on the Thursday before Ash Wednesday: in 2026, it was held on 12 February.
At the Vienna State Opera, on the Opernring, in the heart of the city. For one night, the auditorium and the stage are joined into a single dance floor, after a transformation of fifty-one hours according to the organiser.
The opening committee is selected by the Opera, on application as a couple, followed by an audition: you must be between 18 and 27 years old on the day of the ball, dance the left-turning waltz very well, and never have done it before. Applications for 2027 closed on 23 September 2026. We can neither support nor promise an application.
It is composed item by item, and each varies with your choices: the address and category of the room, the length of stay, the flight, the tailcoat and the gown (purchase, hire, alterations), the waltz lessons, the chauffeur, the format of the dinners, the size of the group and the timing of the booking. We prepare a tailored quote, with no ball ticket, terms confirmed before any commitment.
No. TGZ Conciergerie is an independent house, with no affiliation to the Vienna State Opera (Wiener Staatsoper) or its Opera Ball Office, and with no official status. That is precisely why we never sell the evening: we arrange everything around it, which depends on us alone.
