The Waltz Manufacturer
A claim: Just before his third marriage to Adele, the waltz king Johann Strauss confronts his past. Memories of his famous father, who left the family, his courageous mother, and his own career path. He reflects on the pressure of success, resistance, the spirit of the times, love, and reveals his deepest fears. Author Susanne F. Wolf creates a humorously profound portrait of the exceptional artist from original quotes and newly written material, which is masterfully brought to the stage by Erwin Steinhauer and the OÖ. Concert-Schrammeln.
