Vienna Opera Ball
Title:Celebrating 70 years of partnership and wonder
Subtitle:
The Vienna Opera Ball is an annual highlight of the Austrian cultural calendar and has become synonymous with elegance, beauty, and timeless sophistication. Blending heritage glamour with modern refinement, the House has designed the signature tiara for this iconic event since 1956. Worn by every debutante in attendance, the Swarovski Tiara is the embodiment of our superlative creativity, technical innovation, and mastery of light.
Our Legacy of Light
Designed by Global Creative Director, Giovanna Engelbert, the 2026 Swarovski Tiara is rich in symbolism. The iconic Swarovski Swan serves as inspiration for a striking design crafted from 315 precision cut crystals. Feather-like loops build to a central Swan motif, graceful and poised with its elongated neck and delicate details. A matching pin unifies the debutantes and their escorts.
A Mesmerizing Match
Coordinating crystallized tie pins echo the feather-like forms of the 2026 Swarovski Tiara to unify the debutantes and their partners beneath the lights of the Vienna State Opera ballroom.

This matching piece perfectly complements the debutantes’ tiaras, crafted to glitter and gleam with every choreographed twirl.
Moments de joie
Assister au Bal de l’Opéra de Vienne est une expérience unique en son genre. Swarovski a invité des convives à commencer leur soirée par un cours de valse dirigé par la célèbre chorégraphe Nina Kripas, suivi d’un dîner exclusif servi à l’Hôtel Sacher. Un pianiste a donné le ton tandis que les desserts, conçus par la créatrice innovante de gâteaux Sophia Stolz, ont offert une touche finale délicieuse.
