Review: DIRTY DANCING THE ORIGINAL LIVE ON TOUR at WIENER STADTHALLE
by Martin Ganeider - June 14, 2023
What did our critic think of DIRTY DANCING THE ORIGINAL LIVE ON TOUR at WIENER STADTHALLE? 'No one puts baby in a corner.' One of the most iconic movie quotes of all time, embossed by Patrick Swayze as Johnny Castle. The movie became a phenomenon, but it took years to convince Eleanor Bergstein to transfer it into a Live Action experience. Bergstein hesitated, but after all, she decided it was time for audiences to become a part of the story they love.

LE NOZZE DI FIGARO Comes to Salzburg in July
by BWW News Desk - June 12, 2023
A turbulent comedy laced with erotic intrigues: what was by no means a harmless comedy even in Mozart’s time evokes today experiences of patriarchal dependence and sexual exploitation. The world represented on stage promotes deceit and criminal behaviour, leaving people with feelings of emptiness, a longing for death and hopelessness.

Previews: ROCK ME AMADEUS DAS FALCO MUSICAL at RONACHER THEATER WIEN
by Martin Ganeider - May 30, 2023
Visiting a club like the famous U4 Club during the day might be rather unusual, but what was once a second home to Falco, aka Hans Hölzl, is probably the best choice to present the cast of the highly anticipated in-house production of the Vereinigte Bühnen Wien. A historical place, filled with his stories.

L'ORFEO Comes to Salzburg in May
by BWW News Desk - March 16, 2023
Just a few years after opera as a genre had originated in Italy, a substantial contribution to the emergent genre appeared on a stage this side of the Alps with a performance of Claudio Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo at the prince-archbishop’s residence in Salzburg on 27 January 1612. Composed in1607 for the carnival at the ducal court of Mantua, Monteverdi’s work, which is based on the ancient Orpheus myth, marks the actual ‘big bang’ of operatic history.
