On October 7, the eyes of many theatre and musical fans around the world will be on Vienna – and more precisely on the Ronacher, which will be the venue for a world premiere on this Saturday evening. “Rock Me Amadeus – The Falco Musical” is the brand-new production by Vereinigte Bühnen Wien, for which there can be no more perfectly suited venue than this traditional musical stage in the heart of Vienna. The production and the cast were presented yesterday at a press conference in the legendary U4, Falco’s favourite disco.
As a sponsor of this production, Casinos Austria looks forward to this event with great joy and pride. The project stands for “best in class” in the entertainment sector, a claim that is perfectly reflected in this musical premiere. The production is also a milestone in Casinos Austria’s partnership with Vereinigte Bühnen Wien, which has been ongoing since 2012 – a partnership for which commitment and sustainability are more than just words.
Casinos Austria General Director Erwin van Lambaart is really looking forward to this cultural highlight: “Through my many years of holding responsible positions in the theatre sector, I know what makes for a successful musical production. That’s why I can already say that ‘Rock Me Amadeus‛ is sure to be a big hit. It makes me proud and grateful that we, with Casinos Austria as production sponsor, can make a significant contribution to this world premiere and bring a great, original Austrian show to the stage in Falco’s hometown of Vienna.
As a company where tradition and innovation always go hand in hand, we aim to offer our guests something special in the entertainment sector. That’s what connects us to a production like the new Falco Musical, but it’s not the only thing we aspire to achieve: with our philosophy “Playsponsible – practicing responsibility together”, we’re committed to being a good partner to Austria’s society in all areas. This also includes cultivating long-standing sponsorship partnerships like the one with Vereinigte Bühnen Wien.”
Casinos Austria will also bring “Rock Me Amadeus” to life for its casino guests: tickets for the musical preview will be on offer as daily prizes in all twelve casinos every Wednesday next September, with an exclusive musical weekend in Vienna as a monthly prize, including 2 tickets for the premiere, the premiere party and a “Fortuna” (“Lady Luck”) casino package.
With over 55 years of experience, Casinos Austria has stood for fascination, excitement and truly unique experiences and thus for the wide range of emotions that visitors to the “Rock Me Amadeus” musical will also experience.
Being “best in class” in the field of entertainment and assuming responsibility in and for Austria have been Casinos Austria’s inner drive and deepest conviction since 1968. With their offer of responsible entertainment experiences, our twelve Austrian casinos bring added value to many regions and contribute to value creation to an extent that goes far beyond their own turnover. All with a clear focus on sustainability.
