Elisabeth - Pia Douwes, William Spaaij, Milan van Waardenburg e.a.

Musical & Show

International musical star Pia Douwes, who previously managed to impress in the home and abroad in the title role, returns in this new adaptation as the ambitious, empathetic woman who gave her heart to Emperor Frans Joseph at a young age. But who slowly but surely perished to the obligations and limitations that the court life entailed. Other main roles are for William Spaaij, Milan van Waardenburg ( Les Misérables ) and Ann Van den Broeck. They based their piece on new information about her life that had just been published at the time: a bulky biography and the diary entries of the Greek teacher of Elisabeth. The piece portrays the Empress as a modern woman who wants to go her own way, but who became entangled in a life full of court etiquette and the threatening downfall of the monarchy. The life of Sissi took place on the eve of the twentieth century, when nationalism, anti -Semitism and the threatening revolution of the dissatisfied underclass overshadowed the life of the elite. In the end it was also anarchist Luigi Lucheni who violently put an end to her unfortunate life.

The producers Albert Verlinde, Jaco Kaasschieter and Matthijs Bongertman and the Flemish director Frank van Laecke signs for this surprising new Dutch version that unlocks the special life story for a new generation. They unpack a lot, not only with the impressive cast, but also with a fourteen -headed orchestra that provides the story of Elisabeth with the grandeur it deserves.
