We began the New Year in old Vienna, waltzing until midnight to the romantic melodies of Johann Strauss, performed by a seventeen piece orchestra, lead by Hugh Ewart.

 

After a Champagne reception the ball commenced with a polonaise, quadrille, and opening waltz that were performed by ten young couples in flowing white dresses and black tailcoats.

In addition to Viennese waltzes, polkas, galops, a grand march, and the Fledermaus Quadrille, attendees were also invited to join artists from Portland Opera Studio in singing highlights from Die Fledermaus.
