ELISE & PAUL – Ein Musical Dramedy!
In the organizer's words:
The actress and the fairytale king's first love
A mix-up with consequences: Based on historical facts, ELISE & PAUL tells the story of a passionate affair that soon turns out to be a love triangle. Laura Oswald & Raphael Binde, directed by Titus Hoffmann, bring the fast-paced, charming musical dramedy back to the stage of the Silbersaal as a two-person play.
Risky love affair
Munich in May 1866 - The young actress Elise Kreuzer makes her extremely successful debut at the newly opened Actien-Theater (later the Gärtnerplatztheater). Prince Paul von Thurn & Taxis, wing adjutant and intimate friend of the Bavarian King Ludwig II, falls in love with the new theater star while attending a performance of "Flotter Bursche", where Elise shines in the title role in knee breeches and a moustache. A tricky love triangle develops between Elise, Paul and Ludwig until Richard Wagner and Cosima von Bülow get involved.
A rollercoaster of emotions
Inspired by historical letters and astonishing contemporary facts, amusing and turbulent entanglements, forbidden love and dramatic intrigues create a rollercoaster of emotions. A sophisticated collage of well-known pop music hits, classical melodic quotations and indulgent original compositions create a soundtrack that makes the events of the past easily and entertainingly accessible to a contemporary audience. The two leading roles are accompanied by Manfred Manhart on the piano.
