The Opera Ball (German: Opernredoute) is a 1931 German musical comedy film directed by Max Neufeld and starring Iván Petrovich, Liane Haid and Georg Alexander. It was part of a large group of operetta films made during the decade, although the film is not based on the operetta Der Opernball. The following year it was remade in French as Beauty Spot. A 1932 British remake After the Ball was also made.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Despite the title, this has nothing to do with Heuberger's famous operetta Der Opernball—they just really liked the words 'Opera' and 'Ball' in 1931.
This film represents the final gasp of German-language operetta cinema before the industry collapsed into Nazi-controlled propaganda; Neufeld himself fled to Hungary in 1933.
