What it’s about. Die Wiener Staatsoper am Donnerstag vor dem Fasching. Wie in jedem Jahr findet der große Ball mit reicher Teilnahme an Prominenz aus Politik und Medien statt.

Da bricht die Hölle los: Giftgas strömt aus verborgenen Behältern, Hunderte von Gästen sterben qualvoll, Millionen von entsetzten Zuschauern erleben es am Fernsehschirm...
