Vienna dances 2025: Big celebration of Johann Strauss's 200th birthday!
Wiener Hauptbahnhof, Österreich - in 2025 Vienna becomes the international center of musical elegance, because the city celebrates the 200th birthday of Johann Strauss, the legendary "Waltz King". Under the motto "King of Waltz. Queen of Music", Wient tourism permanently draws attention to this important anniversary, which is rewarded with a total of 65 projects at almost 70 different locations. The city, which is connected to Strauss' music like no other, starts the festival year "Johann Strauss 2025 Vienna" on January 1 and offers a wealth of cultural events from this day to New Year's Eve, which range from classical music to innovative shows to unconventional projects, such as the escape room event "Shadow of Double-in the head of the genius", which takes place in the museum district.

ceremony for the baptism of the "Strauss-Lok"
Another highlight is the solemn baptism of the "Strauss-Lok", a specially designed locomotive of the ÖBB that symbolically stands for the anticipation for the festival year. This special event will take place on March 13, 2025 at 12:30 p.m. at the Vienna Central Station and is intended to mark the start of the celebrations. The "Strauss-Lok" is therefore not only a means of transport, but also a lively symbol of Vienna's music tradition.
The celebrations are supplemented by numerous events that celebrate the waltz and the joie de vivre that Strauss exudes music. These range from classic concerts in the Vienna Konzerthaus, under the direction of prominent conductors, to innovative performances of the work interpretations that bring the diversity of his inheritance. According to Roland Geyer, the director of the festival year, this initiative should not only revive the nostalgia of the Strauss music, but also highlight their modern relevance in order to reach a wide audience. This commitment can also be found in a report on The press
