On June 2, 2018, Life Ball celebrates its 25th anniversary. We ware using this milestone event to reflect on the past and look to the future: to review the achievements in the fight against HIV / AIDS over the last 25 years and evaluate Life Ball’s sociopolitical impact. The anniversary festivities will reaffirm our commitment to fighting for all of those living with HIV and those impacted by the virus both in Austria and around the globe.

The LIFE+ Celebration Concert has been the sister event of Life Ball since 2012 and marks the brilliant beginning of the Life Ball Week. National and international stars of the opera and theater world come together on the stage of Vienna’s Burgtheater for this event. With their unique performances, they send the clear message that we can only defeat HIV/AIDS if we stand together.

New production under the musical direction of Sir Simon Rattle. With Stephen Gould, Ruxandra Donose, Franz-Josef Selig und Evgeny Nikitin.
