Roscic indicates end for Opera Ball Lady and Lugner

The head of the Opera, Bogdan Roscic, has indicated in an interview with the “Kronen Zeitung” the end of the function of the “Opera Ball Lady”. “But I think it’s time to end the idea of ​​a ‘ball mom.'” I think more about a committee where our new circle of friends will also be represented, ”said Roscic. The Richard Lugner era could also come to an end.

“The reader ‘Bild’ should no longer believe that the Opera Ball is a show he has put on with rented guests. We have a long waiting list and we want to give supporters throughout the year a right of first rejection. Also in the field of youth promotion, ”said Roscic.

Roscic won’t announce his exact plans for the dance until a press conference in May. But dancing is “something very central to opera and not just every night of the year. We are reaching an unprecedented audience on television; as usually only in a government crisis.”
