The iconic German band The BossHoss will appear as special guests in the Style Up Your Life! box at the Vienna Opera Ball 2026. For the musicians, this will mark their very first appearance at the most prestigious ball of the year, making their debut one of the evening’s most anticipated highlights.

Hosts Adi Weiss and Michael Lamerner admit they are thrilled to welcome the rock cowboys: the fusion of The BossHoss’s country-rock energy with the refined atmosphere of the Vienna State Opera promises to create a truly unique mood.

In addition to their participation in the Opera Ball, the musicians will arrive in Austria as early as this week. In Kitzbühel, they will take part in a charity auction as part of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s climate initiative, continuing their tradition of supporting important social causes.

It was previously announced that top model Nadine Mirada will be the official guest star of the Vienna Opera Ball 2026.

On February 12, 2026, the Vienna State Opera will once again transform into one of the world’s most elegant ballrooms. However, those wishing to attend the legendary Vienna Opera Ball will have to dig deeper into their pockets: ticket prices have gone up — and this time, significantly.

The cost of a standard admission ticket will reach 410 euros, which includes a charitable contribution of 35 euros. For those who don’t plan to stand all night, a seated ticket is available for 230 euros.

The most substantial price increases affect the boxes. For example, renting a stage box has risen from 14,000 to 15,000 euros. A premium stage box will now cost 19,000 euros. And the luxurious balcony boxes, which are typically the first to sell out, will now go for 26,000 euros, up from the previous 24,500.

However, to gain priority access to these boxes, one must be an official donor of the Vienna State Opera. This status requires an annual contribution of 30,000 euros, which supports young talents. As a result, a balcony box with priority access will cost an impressive 56,000 euros.

Prices for food and drinks have yet to be announced, but it seems guests won’t be saving much at this celebration of opulence.

This year, the 67th Vienna Opera Ball could rival the most famous Fashion Weeks, as its red carpet will feature many well-known models. Among them are Leni Klum, Franziska Knuppe, Amira Ali, Candice Swanepoel, and Austrian beauty Nadine Mirada.

The beauty from Upper Austria, Nadine, has finally chosen her look for the ball. She shared the details with oe24. Nadine will shine in a delicate sequined gown with a feathered train and sheer elements, designed by Georges Makaron. She will complete her look with lab-grown diamond jewelry from Mandana, as well as shoes and a handbag from Humanic.

By the way, if Nadine Mirada decides to take a break from dancing at the upcoming ball, a Koppensteiner box will be waiting for her.

The Vienna Opera Ball is just around the corner. On February 27, 2025, the event will once again bring together the most sophisticated guests, who are already preparing their luxurious outfits. Among them is publisher and style expert Ekaterina Mucha.

For the Opera Ball, she has chosen a green off-the-shoulder gown by designer Erika Süss, complemented by an incredible necklace, bracelet, and earrings from the Vienna auction house Amadeus.

These are not just accessories but exquisite pieces made of white gold, adorned with 74.56 carats of diamonds and 12 sapphires. The price of this jewelry set is astonishing — 253,000 euros! For security reasons, two bodyguards will be assigned to watch over the jewelry on Ekaterina.

By the way, this necklace has already been seen at the Vienna Opera Ball before. It was worn by mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča in 2010.
