Paris Hilton to be a special guest at Vienna Opera Ball · 2007-01-18 16:56
Each year, the 74-year-old wealthy Austrian businessman Richard Lugner invites a celebrity to be his guest at Vienna’s exclusive Opera Ball. This year the 25-year-old Paris Hilton will be the star guest at Austria’s top society event, Reuters reported.
“She will dance with me,” Mr Lugner, 74, told a news conference. “If a man is a good leader on the dance floor, a woman is capable of everything.”
His past ball guests include Carmen Electra, Pamela Anderson, Andie MacDowell, Geri Halliwell, Sophia Loren, and Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson.
Austria’s politicians, socialites and foreign dignitaries will attend the Opera Ball on February 15 this year. Tickets for the event, which is broadcast live on national television, are extremely hard to come by and sell out months ahead of time.
