Initially, due to the increasing violence at the Paris balls but only Court Opera soirees take place. It should, however, take another eight years before a dance event in the opera could be held for the first time after the completion of the house in 1869. With this, have been created both the spatial and the official conditions for a genuine Viennese Opera Ball according to Parisian model. In 1861 the construction of an opera house begins at the Ringstrasse, on the explicit desire of Emperor Franz Joseph not solely intended for performances of operas and ballets, but also for the staging of the Opera Ball. Nevertheless, in the Comédie furthermore take place balls, with the audience far more popular than the 'opera balls'. First, the balls take place at the Comédie française, but already in 1717 was given the Académie de Musique, the Paris Opera House, the special right of the organization.

By a corresponding approval of Duke Philip of Orleans, on 2 January 1716 a 'public ball' can be held for the first time, to which everyone has access who can pay the admission fee of five livres. Just as already the operetta and the waltz had been imported from Paris to Vienna, comes also the model for the Vienna Opera Ball from the Seine metropolis.
