Julia Grüter sings arias of longing and love, notably Dvořák’s “Song to the Moon” from Rusalka. Dance energy comes from Dvořák’s Slavonic Dances. The second half features Johann Strauss and Franz Lehár, including the Tritsch-Tratsch Polka and the Csárdás from Die Fledermaus. Gerrit Prießnitz guides the audience as both conductor and host.

Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Innsbruck

• Getting there: Congress Innsbruck, Rennweg 3, is in the city centre, walkable from the Old Town and Hofgarten. Innsbruck Hauptbahnhof links by tram, bus or taxi. Parking includes the City underground garage in partnership with the Congress. Innsbruck Airport (INN) is close; Munich or rail connections are alternatives.
• Dress: Smart daytime attire suits the morning dress rehearsal; the 1 January evening performance is often more formal. The hall is climate-controlled – light layers help.

• Tickets and entry: Use official sellers only. If the dress rehearsal is sold out, check returns, the 1 January gala, or the Kufstein and Reutte dates.
• Around the concert: After the performance, stroll the Hofgarten or Old Town, or take the Nordkette cable car in clear weather. Always confirm programme and ticket status on landestheater.at.
