THIS colourful show is the definitive tribute to the 'Waltz King' Johann Strauss and his sparkling legacy.

It celebrates the most popular music, dance and song from the Strauss family, which has been captivating audiences for more than 30 years. The magic of the masked ball is the evocative theme of the gala performed by the Johann Strauss Orchestra and Dancers.

The orchestra will be directed from the violin in traditional Viennese manner by music director David Juritz, whose charm and charisma has made him a favourite with audiences across the country.

Popular songs of the period will be brought to life by sparkling soprano soloist Amy Freston. In addition to a programme including The Blue Danube Waltz, Radetzky March, Wiener Blut, Tritsch Tratsch Polka and The Laughing Song from Die Fledermaus, an integral part of the evening's entertainment is provided by the Johann Strauss Dancers.

Their routines capture and enhance the spirit of the music. They have been created by award-winning choreographer Christopher Hampson whose work includes pieces for English National Ballet.
