Leipzig Opera Ball 2024: Everything about appointment, celebrities and dress code!

The Leipzig Opera Ball, a glamorous event in the city's event calendar, is all about high art and solemn occasions in 2024.

The ball attracts numerous prominent guests every year, and many well -known personalities are also announced for 2024.

appointment and place

A remarkable change affects the day of the ball: it takes place for the first time on a Friday. Saturday was originally planned.

In addition, British influences also form the menu of the evening, which promises the guests a culinary journey through British cuisine.

The dress code is "Black Tie" for this upscale event. The gentlemen are asked to appear in tuxedo or tailcoat, while the women can shine in floor -length evening dresses. This clothing regulation contributes to the festive atmosphere and ensures that the evening shines in an elegant shine.
