The now 90-year-old businessman only goes to the Vienna Opera Ball with a prominent companion. In 2023 you will now see “Grace and Frankie” star Jane Fonda at his side – of course only for a fee.

- “Grace and Frankie” star Jane Fonda is coming to Austria in February.
- Celebrity entrepreneur Richard Lugner invited the actress to the Vienna Opera Ball.
- Lugner has already admitted that Fonda was not his first choice.
Andie MacDowell, Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian – they all accompanied the entrepreneur Richard “Mörtel” Lugner to the Vienna Opera Ball. After the event for Austria’s upper class had to be canceled due to Corona in the last two years, Lugner can take a prominent guest with him again in 2023.
It has now been announced that actress and environmental activist Jane Fonda will travel to Vienna to join Lugner at the Opera Ball. It was only in October 2022 that Lugner revealed that he would like to invite Lady Gaga, but feared the high sum that the singer would probably ask for.
Apparently Jane Fonda, who is currently promoting her film “80 for Brady” in the USA, was cheaper, but certainly not cheap either. The film, which reunites her with her “Grace and Frankie” colleague Lily Tomlin, has not yet been released in Germany or Austria due to its football theme, so the visit to the Opera Ball is not for publicity.
You will hardly be able to get tickets for the event, which start at 350 euros. So if you want to see Fonda and Lugner at the Vienna Opera Ball, you can follow the events on television. On February 16, 3sat and ORF will broadcast the event from 9:10 p.m., and the ball will really get going at 10:55 p.m.
