FALCO MEETS AMADEUS

“The Commissioner” is back! To celebrate the 70th birthday of Austrian superstar Falco, experience this authentic “biographical” production starring Alexander Kerbst. FALCO MEETS AMADEUS tells the story—as visually stunning as it is eccentric—of two truly exceptional figures in music history, combining all of Falco’s greatest hits performed live with the thrilling story of the legendary Viennese artist. Featuring “Rock Me Amadeus,” “Jeanny,” and “Out of the Dark,” the story offers a deep insight into the thoughts and emotions of the artist and the man behind the dazzling pop icon, while paying tribute to the magnificent life’s work of “Falco.”

The greatest genius in the history of German-language pop and rap

With over 60 million records sold, a seemingly endless number of sold-out concerts worldwide, and the only German-language song to date to top the American charts, Falco became, alongside Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the most internationally successful Austrian musician of all time. In his No. 1 song “Rock Me Amadeus,” he sings about Mozart’s popularity, his debts, and his relationships with women—parallels that can be attributed not only to his “rock idol” but also to Falco himself. In addition to “Rock Me Amadeus” and their origins, there are many other similarities between the two musical geniuses: Both were far ahead of their time, created their own unique musical styles, and thus shaped the music of their era like no one else—two complex and controversial figures straddling the line between genius and madness.
