Featuring the Budapest Ballet
Celebrating 30 years in North America, Salute to Vienna New Year's Concert returns to Sarasota for a dazzling anniversary season. This beloved annual tradition is an unmissable addition to every music-lover's holiday wish list.
At the heart of Salute to Vienna New Year's Concert is the richly festive, romantic, and soul-stirring music of Johann Strauss, Jr. Mark the 200th anniversary of the famed composer's birth with a selection of soaring overtures, arias, and duets that capture the essence of Vienna's Golden Age, including the Blue Danube Waltz.
With a charming expert in Viennese music at the conductor's podium, the Waltz King's timeless music bursts to life in performances by some of Europe's finest singers, internationally acclaimed dancers, and a full orchestra. With elegant costumes, bright floral designs, and even a joke or two from the conductor, this cherished tradition is the perfect way to waltz into the new year.
Presented by Attila Glatz Concert Productions. Artists subject to change without notice.

The Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall is the first theater in Sarasota to install the revolutionary Hearing Loop System for those who suffer from hearing loss, thanks to financial support from Sertoma Sarasota. The hearing loop is the only system that transmits performers' voices from a microphone directly into a hearing aids or cochlear implants equipped with telecoils, allowing wearers to use hearing aids as wireless loudspeakers. This system complements the existing Sennheiser Infrared Listening System. Wireless headsets can be used at any seat in the auditorium and are available in both the Main and Bayside Lobbies. Sign language interpreters are available upon request through the box office.
