With the engaging narrative, vivid characters and breathtaking costume and stage design, this musical was deemed as "a real revolution in musical theatre".

From his hometown Salzburg to Mannheim, from Paris to Vienna, his musical talent led him to break free from the prejudice people held toward German operas and the limitation of his time. He dedicated his life to his gift for music.
