On Thursday, the large tent of the Circus-Theater Roncalli was set up at the Vienna Heumarkt. It is ready for the world premiere "Cagliostro - Johann Strauss in the Circus Tent" to be shown from September 10.

The starting point for the musical spectacle is motifs from the now unknown Johann Strauss operetta "Cagliostro in Vienna," which was premiered by the Waltz King immediately after his worldwide success "Die Fledermaus" in 1875.

The operetta, now newly interpreted by author Thomas Brezina and musically arranged by composer Johnny Bertl, between theater, pop, and circus world, is "our largest and most ambitious endeavor" in the festival program - "a project that works across generations and makes the openness and diversity of Viennese culture particularly visible," said Roland Geyer, director of "Johann Strauss 2025 Vienna," in a press release.

The Vienna Ice Skating Club at Heumarkt serves as the stage for the musical experience event until September 28. Further information on dates and tickets can be found on the website.
