Summary

In A night in Vienna, dancers recreate the beauty and atmosphere of the ballroom performances of 19th century Vienna. Strauss favorites including the Blue Danube Waltz are performed while dancers perform in historical costumes.
The waltz king is a docudrama about Johann Strauss father and son, with dramatized scenes and narration by Lesley Garret filmed at historical locations in Vienna. The film explores the rivalry between the two composers; Strauss senior's relationship with Joseph Lanner; the origins of the waltz in the "Ländler" folk dance, and the story of how its popularity swept Europe, provoking controversy and influencing fashion and social behavior.
