(West Palm Beach, FL)— The Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts announces that the family-favorite annual celebration Salute to Vienna New Year’s Concert is returning for the 2025-2026 Kravis Center season. Tickets go on sale Friday, July 25 at 10 a.m. online and 12 p.m. at the Box Office or by calling 561.832.7469.
About Salute to Vienna New Year’s Concert: Welcome 2026 with a festive, European-inspired New Year’s celebration, modelled after the world-famous New Year’s Concert in Vienna. With timeless music, dazzling costumes, breathtaking dance and stunning floral designs, Salute to Vienna New Year’s Concert returns to West Palm Beach for an unforgettable New Year’s performance, full of old-world charm. Salute to Vienna New Year’s Concert adds a fun and festive dash of traditional European culture to the end of the holiday season. It is inspired by the 80+
year-old Viennese Neujahrskonzert—a concert presented by the Vienna Philharmonic every New Year’s Day—beloved for its lively music and time-honored traditions.
Celebrating 30 years in North America, Salute to Vienna New Year’s Concert sustains and reinvents these traditions with a sparkling two and a half-hour concert of dancing, duets and arias from light operettas, all narrated by a European conductor who is both talented and fun and backed by a full symphony orchestra. Add this concert to your list of “old ways to make the holidays young again”.
Salute to Vienna New Year’s Concert features selections from some of history’s most famous operettas (classical music’s marriage of the soap opera to the sitcom). Not as serious as opera, operettas are light, often funny, and almost always based on some combination of love lost, given and longed for, with jealousy, love triangles and obstacles thrown in the way. They are less often performed in North America than they are in Europe, so Salute to Vienna New Year’s Concert provides a great opportunity to experience highlights from some of the best operettas, performed by some of Europe’s finest singers.
Whether you are sending or taking someone to the concert, it’s an experience that will be remembered. With Salute to Vienna New Year’s Concert taking place soon after gift-giving season, it’s a great way to prolong the sense of the holiday spirit, while giving those you love the musical wish of a joyful, happy and healthy New Year.

Celebrating 30 years in North America, SALUTE TO VIENNA NEW YEAR’S CONCERT returns to West Palm Beach for a dazzling anniversary season. This beloved annual tradition is an unmissable addition to every music lover’s holiday wish list.
At the heart of SALUTE TO VIENNA NEW YEAR’S CONCERT is the richly festive, romantic and soul-stirring music of Johann Strauss, Jr. Mark the 200th anniversary of the famed composer’s birth with a selection of soaring overtures, arias and duets that capture the essence of Vienna’s Golden Age, including the Blue Danube Waltz.
With a charming expert in Viennese music at the conductor’s podium, the Waltz King’s timeless music bursts to life in performances by some of Europe’s finest singers, internationally acclaimed dancers and a full orchestra. With elegant costumes, bright floral designs, and even a joke or two from the conductor, this cherished tradition is the perfect way to waltz into the new year.
