Content

symphonic rock spectacle

Elisabeth Fuchs knows what her audience has come to expect: We Will Rock You as a symphonic rock spectacle. Following last year’s ABBA, the maestra from Salzburg conducts Queen’s greatest hits. The legendary British rock band would never have been formed if the Zanzibar Revolution of 1964 had not caused the young Farrokh Bulsara to leave his native country. And so it was that the son of Parsi-Indian parents became the rock star Freddie Mercury and the aspiring graphic designer became the greatest style icon that rock music had ever seen. Even Monika Ballwein finds it a challenge to match the four octaves of his vocal range.

Programme

Vocals

Monika Ballwein was born and grew up in Lower Austria. The accordion was her first great musical love. But the fire doesn't just burn in her fingers: It was her voice that brought Monika Ballwein triumphs. And she is the first authorised teacher in Austria to teach according to the principles of CVT (complete vocal technique).
