a musical with history

"West Side Story" is more than just a musical. It is a timeless repetition of the tragedy "Romeo and Julia" that was transferred to the New York of the 1950s. Here the protagonists Tony and Maria fall in love despite rival youth gangs, the jets and the Sharks. The gripping action, which is characterized by strong emotions and tragic misunderstandings, touches across generations. In Kufstein, among others, Margot Baars will be on stage as Maria and Nicolas Vinzenz as Tony, while Vanni Viscusi is responsible for the choreography and director. As the Fortress Kufstein, the event is the 17th musical summer, which has now established itself as a highlight in the Kufstein cultural calendar.

The fortress not only offers a great atmosphere, but also a weatherproof roof that defies any weather. Every year the event attracts thousands of visitors who can look forward to an unforgettable musical evening. The advance sale is already underway and the tickets are available from 47.52 euros, including via Vienna Ticket Office. The access routes to the fortress arena are well signposted and lead over the Kaiserjägerweg.
