Komm ein bisschen mit nach Italien
Since Peter Kube once played the male lead role in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" in a school theater production, the material has not let him go. Therefore, the freshly baked energetic retiree sets out to explore the original locations where the most famous literary couple in the world lived. Passing through Austria, where he stays for one night at the famous "Weißes Rössl am Wörthersee," he pays a visit to the famous painting "The Birth of Venus" by Sandro Botticelli in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. Upon arriving in Verona, he gets lost, only to suddenly experience a grand opera in the Arena. An evening of concerts full of great emotions, death and deception, heroes, and coughing.
Music by Gioacchino Rossini, Charles Gounod, Ralph Benatzky, Nino Rota, Julius Fučik, Ennio Morricone, Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Verdi, Antonín Dvořák, Vittorio Monti, Pietro Mascagni, Peter Tschaikovsky, Luigi Arditi.
