From admission until the start of the dress rehearsal, you will have the opportunity to take a look at the ballrooms, some of which are already decorated, or to listen to the artists' rehearsals.

The buffet in the Schwindfoyer will be open for you during the dress rehearsal.

There is no dress code for the dress rehearsal of the Vienna Opera Ball, but we have noticed that many guests enjoy dressing festively.
