The Waltz Manufacturer

A claim: Shortly before his third marriage to Adele, the waltz king Johann Strauss resurrects past traumas. Memories of his famous father who left the family, the courageous mother, and his own development. He reflects on pressure to succeed, resistances, zeitgeist, love, and reveals his deepest fears. Author Susanne F. Wolf creates a humorously profound portrait of the exceptional artist from original quotes and new writings, which is masterfully brought to the stage by Erwin Steinhauer and the OÖ. Concert-Schrammeln.
