Long considered the social apotheosis for a city renown for sophistication and culture, the white tailed, tiara’d splendor of the Viennese Opera Ball couldn’t be contained in just one city. Austrian immigrants brought it to the United States 65 years ago, where it remains an annual all night grand affair, replete with debutantes, dignitaries, opera, dance, the West Point color guard and of course, a sea of ball gowns.
