Der Riese vom Steinfeld

The true story about a two metres and 58 centimetres tall Lengauer farmer’s son, who was introduced to Emporer Wilhelm and Queen Victoria, the marveld attraction on funfairs, on courts and vaudeville shows and who died in the age of 27 years of pneumonia. Peter Turrini and Friedrich Cerha developed a modern opera about the mechanism, that controls our culture – in Turrini’s words: “We celebrate those who we killed before.” 2 CDs
