Operetta at Festspielhaus St. Pölten in Sankt Pölten.

About: Johann Strauss II

The 'Waltz King' of Vienna left behind more than 500 dance compositions and operettas that have never left the world's stages - from the swirling An der schönen blauen Donau to the sparkling Die Fledermaus. His 200th birthday in 2025 turned Vienna into a year-long festival, confirming that Strauss's music is as alive today as it was in the ballrooms of the Habsburg Empire.
