Sylvester Levay
Elisabeth
A tragic waltz with mortality unfolds in this hit German-language musical about Empress Sisi.
Michael Kunze and Sylvester Levay's internationally acclaimed musical traces the dramatic life and independent spirit of Austria's Empress Elisabeth, framed through her lifelong fascination with Death personified.
Audiences are treated to grand historical staging, soaring melodies, and a complex narrative narrated from beyond the grave by the anarchist who assassinated her, offering a provocative look at a misunderstood royal.
