About This Event

Marking 150 years since the birth of Franz Leh谩r 鈥� and recalling the long-running Proms tradition of the 鈥榁iennese Night鈥� begun in the 1950s 鈥� we step into the gilded ballroom of operetta, evoking the glamour and sophistication of turn-of-the-century Vienna.

Clink your glasses to an evening of champagne-filled romance and melody featuring excerpts from Leh谩r鈥檚 most popular titles such as The Merry Widow, The Land of Smiles and Giuditta, as well as music by fellow creators of the 鈥楽ilver Age鈥� of Viennese operetta 鈥� and excerpts from the most enduring and popular operetta of them all, Johann Strauss II鈥檚 Die Fledermaus (鈥楾he Bat鈥�). The ever-stylish 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra graces the stage, under its Principal Conductor Bramwell Tovey.

It will not be possible to have an audience at the Royal Albert Hall.
