  • In the 1800s .It was the most aristocratic ball, and was visited by many artists and politicians, too: Mihály Vörösmarty, Mór Jókai or Lujza Blaha.
  • After the World War I The ball lost its importance, but it was still held till the World War II
  • After the World War II Hungary became a communist country where aristocratic balls were unwanted events, but the Anna-ball was held again.
  • 1954, 31st July was the first ball after the War.
