For sixty years the Vienna Philharmonic's world-famous "Neujahrskonzert" broadcast has thrilled 1.2 billion people annually around the globe—a joyous celebration of the musical legacy of Johann Strauss Jr.
Salute to Vienna -the only showcase modeled carefully after the Viennese original—has established itself as a New Year's tradition in North America featuring glorious music with an outstanding cast of 75 musicians, singers and dancers.
The music of Salute to Vienna captures the tradition of soaring waltzes and thrilling operettas of Johann Strauss Jr. and his contemporaries. The most famous member of the Strauss Dynasty, Johann Strauss, Jr. spread the intrinsically Viennese concepts of the waltz and operetta throughout the world. His "Blue Danube Waltz" has become Austria's unofficial national anthem, and "Die Fledermaus" is by far the world's favourite operetta. Familiar pleasures from Johann Strauss Sr. and Jr. are combined with the rhythms of Franz Lehár and Oskar Strauss. In addition, sweeping ballets and majestic marches are joined with duets by Robert Stolz and the grand eloquence of Emmerich Kálmán and Mozart.
