Riga Ball is one of the most splendid reminders of a distant era of great composers, charming social gatherings and gorgeous dresses of the ladies. In Riga, just like in the rest of Europe, balls still have an important place in the cultural life.

Riga Ball 2020 was held in one of the most famous and beautiful buildings in the Baltic States — the House of the Blackheads, located in the very heart of Riga, the capital of Latvia. The luxurious interior of the venue helped create the unforgettable atmosphere of a 20th-century ball.

During the evening program symphony and jazz orchestras have performed, as well as the best soloists of the Latvian National Opera and Ballet, the most known Latvian Operetta soloists, the greatest Latvian ballroom and folk dancers, Boys Choir. There were also performances from young musicians and dancers from orphanages.

The official opening ceremony has started at 9:00 p.m. with a presentation of the debutantes. Young ladies dressed in white ball gowns and their partners dressed in black tails have danced the Opening Polonaise and a Viennese Waltz. The pairs of the debutantes and their partners were specifically selected at the largest Latvian universities and trained by the best Latvian ballroom dancers and choreographers. Followed by the performance of the debutantes, the organizers and the event partners have announced the opening of the Riga Ball 2020.

Riga Ball 2020 is a unique opportunity to enjoy the atmosphere of the classic Viennese Ball in Riga, with the flavors of Latvian cultural traditions, to spend your time elegantly, while meeting interesting and intelligent people, as well as to dance to the wonderful, eternal music. And of course, this time— there was a brilliant opportunity to celebrate the 5th anniversary of Riga Ball!
