Festsaal: Wolfgang Steubl times Two
With not one, but two ensembles, Wolfgang Steubl ensures a rich variety of classical music throughout the evening. The renowned Vienna Ball Orchestra Wolfgang Steubl, together with the Vienna String Orchestra, presents a wide repertoire of traditional dance music. For a livelier change of pace, the Wolfgang Steubl Big Band takes the stage, offering everything from legendary Glenn Miller sounds to timeless ballroom standards and Latin rhythms.

A touch of the Caribbean enters the Hofburg: Austria’s celebrated Latin singer promises an energetic, joy-filled dance and music experience. Together with an internationally acclaimed band, she whisks the audience away with her powerful voice and dynamic stage presence into the vibrant world of Latin rhythms – from salsa and cha-cha-cha to rumba, bolero, merengue, cumbia and beyond.
