The event is closed to the public. Residents only. “A Firtatious Duet in the Countryside” Is a delightful short opera of non-stop singing and dancing on the stage. It is a story of chance encounter turning into playful romance. It is a subtle amorous courtship between a boy and a girl in the countryside. A young girl playing a isit to Apricot Village asked a boy who was tending his buffalo for the direction. The boy asked the girl to sing and he sang along. Using silly nonsensical lyrics and light-hearted dancing, the two flirted and had a good time in the countryside

The Viennese Opera Ball in New York is one of the great charity galas that has benefitted other worthy nonprofit institutions for over 50 years.
The words “Viennese Opera Ball” have long been synonymous with international glamour, romantic elegance and prestige.

Thus, in 1877, the first of the “court opera soirees” (known as the “Hofopérn-Soireen”) was staged. The Strauss orchestra performed under the direction of Edward Strauss (Johann, Jr.’s younger brother).
Today, the Viennese Opera Ball remains an international social landmark. The February 5, 2010, Ball in New York will mark the 55th consecut ...
