Ball at court

The Ball at Court in Vienna was during the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph I , the highest ball during the Carnival season . The court ball was held towards the end of the season.

In contrast to the court ball , the court ball was only open to the court society itself, i.e. personalities who had access to the emperor and the empress, in particular palace ladies , highest court dignitaries, princely secret councilors , but also accredited diplomacy. At the ball at court, the court kitchen and the court winery prepared a neat supper and not a buffetlike at the court ball. After the one-hour cotillon, according to the dance regulations that dictated the time, the supper was consumed between 11 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. in separate, society-specific rooms. After a short dance that followed, the court withdrew at midnight and thus ended the event.
