¡° Empress Sissi, performed in English with Chinese subtitles, is in every way an authentic Austrian show.
Settings include the romantic wilds of the Salzkammergut mountains, the Hungarian Puzta, the baroque park of the famous Austrian imperial palace of Schnbrunn and Possenhofen castle in Bavaria, the childhood home of this famed, beautiful empress of Austria.
Austrian composer Georg Stampfer wrote the music which evokes memories of Schubert, Haydn, Beethoven, Brahms and Strauss.
The 135-minute show also features 90 costumes which have been created from designs by traditional Viennese tailors.
Most of the cast are also among Austria's leading musical performers.
Although the real Express Sissi suffered health problems and lost many relatives and friends before finally being assassinated in Geneva in 1898, the musical captures only the most glorious part of her life.¡± ¨C CRIEnglish.com
