The two Viennese balls in Asia were dedicated to the 140th anniversary of the establishment of official relations between Austria and Thailand. The ball evenings were opened by the Vienna City Council. The Ambassade Orchestra Vienna not only entertained the Thai and Malaysian audiences with famous works from the Vienese Classics which included Overtures, Waltzes, Polkas and Operetta Melodies, but also accompanied the Ballet Ensemble of the Vienna State Opera as well as the debutantes.
