The 2017 Viennese Winter Ball will be held at Trillium Ballroom of the Shaw Centre, Ottawa, on February 4, 2017.The tradition of the Vienna Opera Ball dates back to an 18th-century decree by Emperor Joseph II that ballrooms be opened to a wider community. Each year, hundreds of balls are hosted across Austria, but the Vienna Opernball is considered the social highlight of the season. Launched in 1996 with the support of the Austrian Embassy and the Austrian-Canadian Council, Ottawa’s Viennese Winter Ball is modeled after Vienna’s Opernball and was officially sanctioned by the Austrian Government. It became a must-attend event on the Ottawa gala calendar. The evening represents a modern fairytale brought to life for a number of young people who apply and audition months before the Ball for the honor of presenting the opening waltz. The year 2017 will mark Canada’s 150th anniversary and the 20th anniversary of the ball.The Viennese Winter Ball will be held at Trillium Ballroom of the Shaw Centre, 55 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1N 9J2.
