Fancy travelling back in time to the pre-Victorian period, when the ladies in Jane Austen’s novels put the excitement into life? In 2014, our annual opera ball in the sumptuous salons of the Ghent opera house will be on the theme of the 1770-1820 period, a time of aristocratic excess and official balls. The focus of the evening is the ‘country dance’, but you will also pick up old minuets and new waltzes. Each dance is taught on the evening itself, to the accompaniment of a live orchestra. So put on your finest dress and who knows, you may meet your very own Mr Darcy.
'The Mirror Room in the Palace of Versailles is the most beautiful room in the world. The great aristocratic families of Europe took up the idea for their grandest palaces. None more thoroughly than the noble house of Festetics for their palace in the charming town of Keszthely on the shore of lake Balaton, Hungary, which was built in 1745. Now you can have the pleasure of dancing in this most beautiful Mirror Room of the Palace.

Tanz und Freude waren für Goethe unzertrennlich miteinander verbunden. Im Kindesalter vom eigenen Vater unterrichtet, pflegte er sein ganzes Leben rege Kontakte zu Tanzmeistern und war ein eifriger Ballbesucher, stets auf der Höhe der aktuellen tänzerischen Trends. Hatte er als Heranwachsender das Menuett gelernt, wurde ihm in seiner Studentenzeit das Walzen von den zwei Töchtern eines Tanzmeisters beigebracht. Die Polonaise tanzte er ‚taktfähig‘ bis ins hohe Alter, Kontratänzen maß er besondere erzieherische Bedeutung bei.
