State Opera Director wants to change a lot
–
The Vienna Opera Ball without the cult builder Richard “Mörtel” Lugner (87)? Unthinkable for many! But of all things the new State Opera Director Bogdan Roscic (born 1964) is striving for a change.
–
Above all, he no longer wants to think that the ball is organized by Lugner. “The ‘Bild’ reader should no longer believe that the opera ball is a show he organizes with rented guests,” he is quoted by the Austrian media. In the future, admission tickets should also be given to those who support us all year round, including in the area of youth promotion, said Roscic.

Will there be no 30th anniversary for Lugner?
–
This bad news comes at a very unfavorable time for the regular guest, because in the coming year, of all things, he would celebrate his personal 30th anniversary of the lodge – and that with a very special guest. “I am negotiating with a really great guest, for whom I would dig deep into my pocket – and who would also please Mr. Roscic,” said Lugner, according to “ORF”.
–
In general, Lugner feels badly treated by the future plans of the new opera director. “As a regular guest who has paid his lodge for 30 years in good and bad times and with his guests has attracted worldwide attention to Vienna and the Opera Ball, I think that is a questionable solution,” said the Viennese.
–
Richard Lugner has invited an illustrious crowd of guests to his box over the past 30 years. These include Ornella Muti, Elle Macpherson, Kim Kardashian West, Harry Belafonte, Sophia Loren, Jacqueline Bisset, Nadja abd el Farrag and many more.
