Opera Ball 2025: BILLA treats debutants with culinary delights before their big performance

BILLA not only looks after the well-being of its customers, but also of its immediate neighborhood. So the food retailer did not miss the opportunity to provide culinary support for yesterday's Ball of Balls. In coordination with the organization team of the Vienna Opera Ball, the BILLA Corso store opposite the Vienna State Opera created gourmet packages for the 160 debutante couples.

Probably the fastest home delivery in the best neighborhood: The BILLA Corso team on Opernring brought gourmet packages for the 160 dance couples to the Vienna State Opera.
A culinary ensemble in the best organic quality from Ja! Natürlich and BILLA Bio brought out the best in the opening committee on the famous dance floor.

When selecting the food and drinks, special care was taken to ensure that they did not stain dresses or suits. Rice cakes and bananas from Ja! Natürlich as well as oat bars in nut-almond and cranberry-coconut flavors as well as apple juice from BILLA Bio made it into the packages and strengthened the young dancing couples before the glamorous opening of the evening.

“BILLA Corso has stood for culinary delights, specialties and delicacies at the highest level for over 30 years. Comprehensive service and true moments of indulgence await our customers at all locations. For this year's Vienna Opera Ball, we took these high standards beyond our market on the Opernring to the State Opera across the street. We supported the opening committee for their big evening with perfectly coordinated gourmet packages, because we are certain that the best way to make a debut is to be well strengthened,” says Jürgen Marker, BILLA Sales Manager.

Six BILLA Corso stores in Vienna are the top addresses for special moments of culinary pleasure

Since the opening of the first BILLA Corso store more than three decades ago, six locations have been established in Vienna, each offering a unique shopping experience. The BILLA Corso stores on Opernring and Schottentor have quickly developed into top culinary destinations in the heart of Vienna. The location on Opernring offers an exclusive range of regional and international specialties, a “Hot Bar” with freshly prepared dishes and a comprehensive selection of wines and spirits on 720 m². Another three BILLA Corso stores are located in Vienna's first district - in the Ringstrasse Galleries, in Herrnhuterhaus and on Hoher Markt. In Döbling, Vienna's newest BILLA Corso store opened its doors in Sieveringer Straße in 2024.
