A Baroque hall booked for your party alone, and an orchestra that plays only for you. Mozart and Strauss in the kind of room they were written for, with champagne in the interval.
An afternoon with a ballroom master until the left turn finally works, then the evening itself: gowns, an orchestra, and the ball season as guests rather than spectators.
The doors open an hour early and the state rooms are yours. A curator walks you through, the galleries are silent, and the crowd arrives only as you are leaving.
