Pre-Ball-Dîner at the
Rudolfina-Redoute

Redoute-Dîner

Start the ball evening with a festive dîner at the Maria-Theresien-Appartements. From the Schweizerhof you will be able to enter the imperial palace via the “Embassadors Stairs” as soon as 6 p.m. You will be awaited with a welcome cocktail. Afterwards, a festive 4-course-menu will be served at the baroque rooms, named after Empress Maria Theresia, who loved to participate at redoutes. During the dinner live music will get you into Redoute-Mood- and afterwards you can directly proceed to enjoy an entertaining ball evening.

The organizational details

For the Redoute-Dîner we charge € 189.00*. This includes aperitif, four-course-meal, accompanying beverages, private entry via Schweizerhof and Botschafterstiege (“Embassadors Stairs”), and wardrobe service including transport to the main wardrobe at the main entrance.

The event starts at 6 p.m with aperitif and the first course being served at 6.30 p.m. You will enjoy a gourmet dinner ending at 8.30 p.m. Please note that the dining rooms cannot be entered after the official ending of the dinner.

The fine print

A vegetarian alternative menu can be provided upon advance notice. Admission and seating at the ball is not included. The general terms and conditions of Rudolfina-Redoute apply. A minimum participation of 30 persons is required for the dinner. Should we receive less than 30 reservations and therefore have to cancel the diner, we will inform you at least 3 weeks prior to the ball and refund the full ticket price.

The Rudolfina-Redoute is the oldest, most traditional ball organized by a student fraternity. “Redoute” means “masked ball” where the ladies, who come alone or with a partner, wear a mask and can invite the men to dance.

Die nächste Rudolfina-Redoute findet am Faschingmontag, den 3. März 2025, statt.

Join us on Carnival Monday, March 3rd 2025 for the next Rudolfina-Redoute.
