Before a premiere, Bogdan Roščić is usually over the moon. The director of the State Opera openly admits that. Although he had such a premiere on Thursday, Roščić – standing on the red carpet dressed up in tails – was only “slightly tense” when the ball guests once more walked up the festive steps. Roščić has been in office since 2020, but due to a two-year compulsory break due to corona, the 2023 Opera Ball was his first in the role of host.
