Die schöne Müllerin
An evening of music theatre based on Franz Schubert

Florian Boesch, Bassbaritone
Nikolaus Habjan, Stage Director, Puppeteer
Musicbanda Franui
Andreas Schett, Musical Direction

The new project by Musicbanda Franui is once again an event: the ensemble from the Austrian mountains, which is well known in Ludwigsburg, not only makes music of an incredibly high standard, it also regularly teams up with artists from other genres. In its latest production, it is bass-baritone Florian Boesch and puppeteer Nikolaus Habjan. Together they present "Die schöne Müllerin", which, together with Boesch's captivating singing and Habjan's marvellous puppetry, surpasses itself.
