For krone.tv, presenter Sasa Schwarzjirg will once again be covering several kilometers at the State Ball. The aim is to get interviews with celebrities such as Hollywood star Priscilla Presley, pop legend Heino, comedian Oliver Pocher and screen hero Franco Nero, as well as asking the country's top politicians for an interview.

The best interviews can then be seen not only from Friday on krone.at, but also in an Opera Ball TV special: Friday, 6 p.m. and Sunday, 7.20 p.m. (repeat).

Big crowd
What many people don't realize: Many demands are placed on the dress that do not apply to "normal" ball visitors. Because it's really cramped in the boxes, people walk up and down the stairwells dozens of times and there's a big crowd at the interviews. A long train, too low a neckline or a tight dress are inappropriate.

The choice fell on Callisti (designer Martina Müller). The inspiration came from "Star Wars" of all things - because Sasa is a big "Star Wars" nerd.
