Overview

Celebrating 30 years in North America, Salute to Vienna New Year’s Concert returns to Chicago for a dazzling anniversary season. This beloved annual tradition is an unmissable addition to every music-lover’s holiday wish list.

At the heart of Salute to Vienna New Year’s Concert is the richly festive, romantic, and soul-stirring music of Johann Strauss, Jr. Mark the 200th anniversary of the famed composer’s birth with a selection of soaring overtures, arias, and duets that capture the essence of Vienna’s Golden Age, including the Blue Danube Waltz.

With a charming expert in Viennese music at the conductor’s podium, the Waltz King’s timeless music bursts to life in performances by some of Europe’s finest singers, internationally acclaimed dancers, and a full orchestra. With elegant costumes, bright floral designs, and even a joke or two from the conductor, this cherished tradition is the perfect way to waltz into the new year.

Presented by Attila Glatz Concert Productions. Artists subject to change without notice.
