International Ballet Gala

The International Ballet Gala is a major highlight in Salzburg’s cultural calendar. Every year, it transforms the Salzburg State Theatre into a global ballet hub. Since its founding by Peter Breuer, the gala has firmly established itself as a charity event in which internationally celebrated dancers of renowned companies join forces with the ensemble of the Salzburg State Theatre to present a varied programme – from classical elegance to contemporary virtuosity.

Artistically directed by Reginaldo Oliveira and Armin Frauenschuh, the gala features excellent dancing and relies on a strong network made up of the Salzburg Ballet ensemble and international guest stars.

This extraordinary gala night presents masterful solo and ensemble performances, spellbinding variations and surprising choreographic moments that show just how vivid and varied the art of ballet is today. The International Ballet Gala combines artistic excellence with social commitment: Every gala night is held for a good cause, with the participating artists volunteering their time and services for the benefit of charitable organisations. See Salzburg become the centre of the ballet world and experience a programme full of grace, technical skills and artistic brilliance! Due to great demand, we recommend booking your tickets for this fantastic event well in advance.
