Join the waltz back into musical history
HARROGATE'S Royal Hall is to play host to the definitive tribute to the 'Waltz King' Johann Strauss and his sparkling legacy.
The Johann Strauss Gala, celebrating the most popular music, dance and song from the Strauss family, has been captivating audiences for over 30 years.
Audiences will have the chance next year to waltz back in time to the glittering ballrooms of 19th century Vienna as Johann Strauss Gala showcases a delectable mix of Viennese music, dance and song.
Formed in 1975 to mark the 150th anniversary of the birth of Johann Strauss, the Johann Strauss Gala showcases a delectable mix of Viennese music, dance and song which is as fresh today as it was then.
This enchanting show is performed annually across the UK and is recreated each year, especially crafted to highlight different aspects of the era.
The Johann Strauss Orchestra will be directed from the violin in traditional Viennese manner by Music Director, David Juritz, whose charm and charisma have made him a favourite with audiences across the country.
Many of the most popular songs of the day will be brought to life by sparkling soprano -soloist Amy Freston.
In addition to a wonderful programme including The Blue Danube Waltz, Radetzky March, Champagne Polka, Tritsch Tratsch Polka and The Laughing Song from Die Fledermaus, an integral part of the evening’s entertainment is provided by the Johann Strauss Dancers.
Performing in gorgeous period costume, their routines capture and enhance the spirit of the music.
They have been created by award-winning choreographer Christopher Hampson whose work includes pieces for English National Ballet and Royal New Zealand Ballet.
