Description

In October 2025, musical director Christian Struppeck and his creative team will bring a brand-new VBW production to the stage at the Ronacher in the form of MARIA THERESIA – THE MUSICAL. This epic work tells the fascinating story and legacy of one of the most influential monarchs of the 18th century – a vivid portrait of power, passion and historical change. Epic drama: powerful music and a thrilling story The opulent musical combines monumental drama with modern sound, vibrant beats with powerful lyrics. A timeless story meets a contemporary production, creating a thrilling stage experience full of energy and surprises. With this spectacular production we are making a powerful statement and creating a monument to the legendary ruler – young, dynamic and absolutely unmistakable. Intrigue, wars, power games: the first female empress of the Habsburg monarchy In a world dominated by men, a young woman arises who is not willing to remain in the shadows. Maria Theresia, who has been passionately interested in political events since childhood and is ahead of her time in many ways, defies the patriarchal imperial house and develops impressive strength and great visions. She fights against all odds and is ultimately the first woman to reach the top of the state. With unwavering courage, she leads the country through turbulent times. As the mother of sixteen children, Maria Theresa combines family care with political acumen and strategic vision. She faced the challenges of her time with unyielding courage, confronted Frederick the Great of Prussia and defied the intrigues at court. While wars convulsed Europe, she modernised the administration and the military, revolutionised education and social policy, and remained unshakable even in times of crisis – a true pioneer with a visionary spirit.
