Wien. Ihr Chauffeur.
Since 1991, Kaiserlich Wien has been the preferred chauffeur service for Vienna's Opera Ball. An evening that demands an arrival worthy of the occasion.
Pre-Book Your Opera Ball ChauffeurThe Wiener Opernball is the most prestigious social event in Austria — and arguably in the whole of Central Europe. Held annually at the Vienna State Opera (Staatsoper) on the Thursday before Ash Wednesday, the ball transforms the entire opera house into one of the world's most spectacular ballrooms.
With some 5,000 guests — diplomats, heads of state, celebrated artists, and Vienna's society — attendance demands not only formal dress but a commensurate arrival. The Ringstraße approach to the Staatsoper, lined with cameras, onlookers, and the full ceremony of Vienna's grandest tradition, is an event in itself.
The opening ceremony — with its debutantes in white gowns and the fanfare of the Philharmoniker — sets the tone for an evening that unfolds until dawn. Diplomatic boxes, private loges, and the legendary supper rooms complete a night that Vienna has perfected over more than 150 years.
Every detail of your Opera Ball evening is considered. From pre-ball preparation to your return in the early hours, Kaiserlich Wien anticipates what a night at the Staatsoper demands.

We remain available throughout the entire evening. Return journeys are available from midnight onwards, whenever your evening concludes — with full discretion and no time pressure.
