Don your finest ball gown or grab your tailcoat; the enchantment of the ballroom beckons!
Leap out of your seat and back in time to an era of golden opulence, as we celebrate 200 years of the king of the Viennese waltz, Johann Strauss II. Dance your way through Strauss’ most iconic music, from the famous Blue Danube to the humorous Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka.
