This unusual musical achieves something completely new: through a dramaturgical trick, it provides deep insights into the inner life of the princess and later empress "Sissy". Her longings, dreams, needs and fears become intensely tangible.
A complex woman of impressive resilience who secretly longs for her soul to "slip away to heaven through a tiny opening in my heart"... And then there is the assassin Luigi Lucheni, who paradoxically fulfills Sissi's wish with a very thin, sharp file. So when they meet again in the afterlife, there's a lot to sort out...
Musical by Georg Stampfer and Johann Müller with Maria Helgath, Dominik am Zehnhoff-Söns and David Lindermeier
