Falco meets Amadeus: musical sensation for Mönchengladbach!

A feast for the ears and a feast for the senses: On March 29, 2026, the new stage show “Falco meets Amadeus” will celebrate its premiere in the Kaiser-Friedrich-Halle in Mönchengladbach. Staged by the makers of “Falco – The Musical”, the show will not only celebrate the musical heights of the unforgettable Falco, but also show parallels to another great master of music, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The combination of impressive hits and the life stories of both artists gives the production a very special appeal. RP-Online reports that the show features well-known classics such as “The Commissioner”, “Vienna Calling” and “Jeanny”, but also lesser-known pieces such as “Europe” will sound.

Falco, born Johann Hölzel in Vienna, is not only one of the most influential pop icons of the 1980s, but is also celebrated as Austria's most internationally successful musician. With over 60 million records sold and the world-famous hit “Rock Me Amadeus”, he has not only conquered the charts, but also had a lasting influence on the music world. It is no coincidence that his musical legacy and the comparison with Mozart are discussed so often. Keyzone highlights the fascinating parallel between the two famous musicians, who both died young and whose lives were full of complexity and passion.

The show and its ensemble

The main actor, Alexander Kerbst, will take on the role of Falco and will not be alone on stage: a five-member band ensemble and a dynamic dance ensemble complement the performance and ensure that the audience is immersed in a dazzling world of music. The show not only tells of Falco's life and career, but also uses the music of Mozart to create an interesting connection between the two artists. ADticket emphasizes that the production interweaves the stories of Falco and Mozart and thus makes their human and musical facets tangible.

A particularly moving facet is the theme of “Rock Me Amadeus,” which reflects Mozart’s popularity while also alluding to Falco’s own rise-and-fall narrative. What both artists have in common is their extraordinary talent and unmistakable style, which makes them real cult figures. The show could turn out to be a real treat for all music lovers and Falco fans.

Tickets and tour

Tickets for the premiere are already available via www.eventim.de, and prices range between 60 and 130 euros. After Mönchengladbach, the show also goes on tour through Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. This high demand for Falco productions impressively shows that the Austrian rock star's musical legacy is still alive and inspires many people even years after his death.

Overall, “Falco meets Amadeus” promises not only a homage to two of the greatest musicians in history, but also an unforgettable experience for all guests in the Kaiser-Friedrich-Halle. We can only hope that the tickets sell out quickly, because music fans shouldn't miss this show!
