Strauss Dinner Show - New Years Special

Strauss New Year’s Evening Special 2026

Celebrate the turn of the year in a truly special Viennese style:

On December 31, 2026, the Strauss Dinner Show transforms into an exclusive New Year’s Evening Special - a festive celebration filled with music, fine dining, elegance, and extraordinary show moments.

Far more than a classic New Year's Eve dinner awaits you in a stylish setting. The Johann Strauss Philharmonic, the Vienna Royal Ballet, and top-class artists combine the world-famous Viennese musical tradition with a festive dinner and a New Year's Eve program specially curated for the occasion.

Between musical performances, you will enjoy an exclusive multi-course menu as the evening builds steadily toward its grand finale. Special show acts, a violin solo, a personal meet-and-greet with the artists, and an impressive sparkling wine tower presentation combine to make this evening an extraordinary, all-encompassing experience.

Anticipation builds just before midnight as the countdown begins alongside the artists and fellow guests. At the stroke of midnight, you will welcome the new year with a special musical finale—right in the heart of Vienna and accompanied by music that, like few others, embodies the Viennese spirit and festive elegance.

The Strauss New Year’s Evening Special is ideal for anyone who wants to do more than just celebrate New Year’s Eve - for those who wish to turn it into a truly special evening featuring magnificent music, exquisite cuisine, and a stylish start to the new year.

A different kind of New Year's Eve in Vienna

Instead of planning a restaurant visit, a concert, and a New Year's Eve party separately, this evening combines everything into a single festive experience: dinner, a live orchestra, ballet, a show, personal encounters with the artists, and a shared countdown to midnight.

A special way to end the year for couples, friends, visitors to Vienna, and anyone wishing to welcome the new year with Viennese music and a stylish atmosphere.
