On Saturday, the entire Palais Auersperg was transformed into a world full of music, glamour, burlesque and sensual variety. Every room told its own story, there was something new to discover everywhere — and yet you never felt you had seen enough.
The Summer Night’s Ball 2026, presented by Cirque Rouge, delivered everything a midsummer night can promise, and a little more. An evening for the history books.
Thank you to everyone who was there. To those who danced until the early hours. To everyone who let themselves drift through the historic rooms. To the curious who looked behind every curtain. And to everyone who experienced with us how the Palais truly breathes in summer.
The burlesque ball season at Palais Auersperg continues:
