Vienna – The political demonstration at the Opera Ball was already bigger, but there was still no lack of celebrities. Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen is expected at the State Opera this year without a guest, but as always with his wife Doris Schmidauer. Because of an EU summit, Chancellor Christian Stocker (ÖVP) has to pass, but Vice Chancellor Andreas Babler (SPÖ) is celebrating his ball premiere as Minister of Culture. Neos boss Beate Meinl-Reisinger is coming as foreign minister for the first time.
