CalendarProgrammeAccompanying event as part of Johann Strauss - Die Ausstellung
A manic, angry, comical reckoning by Johann Strauss with himself and his life. The Waltz King tells of the ruins of his inner kingdom, devoid of happiness, and what chance of happiness there might have been. He boards the train once again and travels to his only great love, Olga Smirnitskaja, whom he lost decades ago.
In a musical reading, Michael Dangl provides insights into his new novel Der Walzermacher accompanied by flautist Maria Fedotova, who plays songs by Olga Smirnitskaja and romances by Johann Strauss.
