Location offered adequate scenery
The baroque castle proved to be the ideal location for the benefit show, which was properly upgraded with light effects and projections. “We are living at a turning point”, with this sentence began the journey through time of a teacher, played by Kristina Sprenger, who embarked on a journey through time with her school class. From Maria Theresa, played by opera singer Alexandra Reinprecht, to Johann Nestroy (Marco Pogo), Marie Antoinette (Zoë Straub) and Mozart (Vincent Bueno), the children met personalities who played an important part in history – from absolutism to the establishment of democracy – mapped. The effort for the greatest possible authenticity was great – it ranged from the noble horses to the historic carriages to the artists with their magnificent costumes. A pioneer bridge provided by the Austrian Armed Forces was set up in the courtyard for the show. The highlight was the replica of the Imperial Gala car as a sustainable project.
