Johann Strauss composed over 500 waltzes, polkas, and mazurkas over the course of his life—not for nothing is he nicknamed the "Waltz King." But he not only composed dance pieces; he also wrote thrilling operettas for the stage, including "Die Fledermaus." To mark his 200th birthday, the program includes waltzes and arias from the popular operetta, as well as other works with dance-like, celebratory verve by Alexander von Zemlinsky and Richard Strauss. Accompanied by a magnificent fireworks display, Vinzenz Praxmarer and the Divertimento Viennese Orchestra will transform the lakeside palace of Monrepos into an atmospheric, expansive Viennese ball scene of the fin-de-siècle.
