With lively moderation, a playful ensemble of outstanding soloists, the orchestra "Camerata Sinfonica Austria" conducted by Davorin Mori, the "Völkermarkter Opera Choir" conducted by Lukas Joham, and dancers from the dance school "Ballett Zentrum" under the direction of Elisa Miklauc, you will be transported into the fascinating world of opera and operetta.

Look forward to virtuosic voices and a celebration of music with a "Best Of" from the opera and operetta world featuring classics like "Brindisi" by Giuseppe Verdi, "Pa Pa Pa" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and the unforgettable melodies from Franz Lehár's "The Merry Widow," the "Can Can" by Jacques Offenbach, and Emmerich Kálmán's "The Csárdásfürstin." When the most beautiful arias, duets, and ensembles resound, stage and audience merge into a place of emotions. Passion and longing, humor and brilliance – everything unites for an evening that celebrates all facets of music theater.

Soloists: Franziska Elkins, Kerstin Grotrian, Melanie Wurzer, Roman Pichler, Raimund Stangl, and special guest Iva Schell.

A gala evening that touches both heart and senses.
