Culinary and dance, networking and enjoyment, entertainment and tradition – the ball of the Viennese economy offers all of this, which last Friday, with guest star Eros Ramazzotti, had the Hofburg, which has been sold out for a long time.
At one of the absolute highlights of the Vienna Social Calendar, 3,600 guests celebrated until late into the night, including many well -known names from business, politics and society.
Already the ceremonial opening delighted with the festive flag parade, the traditional entry of the guests of honor as well as the young lady and young men’s committee. Also the young singer Anna-Sophie captivated the audience with their impressive voice. Her appearance at the beginning immediately brought a breath of fresh air to the ball night and was celebrated with thunderous applause.
The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the midnight show act of Eros Ramazzotti. The Italian world star enchanted the ballroom with its greatest hits for an hour and let the guests immerse themselves in pure joie de vivre with its striking voice.
Walter Ruck, Wirtschaftsbund Vienna State Chair and President of the Vienna Chamber of Commercewas happy about the very successful evening and the variety of guests: “The ball of the Viennese economy brings everyone together. We have representatives of all political parties as a guest and that’s a good thing! Because we work for the Viennese economy and the further development of the framework for entrepreneurs. ”
Just like the musical highlights, guests also enjoyed the varied program. The Ö3 Disco and the Salon Campari attracted dance enthusiasts with modern beats, for the mood in the different balls, in addition to the two show acts, four other live bands also played up.
President Walter Ruck and Mayor Michael Ludwig Proven their manual skill in the magnificent Hofburg also at the tattoo stand as a “Team Wiener Wirtschaft”. Together they had guided guidelines in the art of tattooing by guild master Erich Mähnert, before they chose an #wienliebe as a motive together.
The Ball of the Vienna Economy in 2025 has once again shown that tradition and modern hand can go in hand. With its unmistakable mixture of shine, charm and a top -class program – also on the enjoyment avenue on the ground floor and the handicraft avenue in the mezzanine – he remains an unforgettable experience for everyone who was part of this special in the evening.
For all sweet tooth, there was one of the carnival highlights for the home for the way home, fresh donuts – as a sweet bed lunchle.
