The Neuschwanstein Castle alone is visited annually by more than 1.5 million people who are fascinated by the fabulous aura of this unique building. Not without reason are numerous feature films, novels and documentaries of the fascinating and at the same time puzzling personality of Ludwig. His legendary life is a myth full of puzzles and revelations, but also full of romance and fantasy, providing enough material for a touching and extremely exciting musical.<br \/>\nThe retreat of Ludwig from the warlike world of his time into the sensual romantic fairytale world of his castles tells a story of fear and flight from the imperfections of politics, from the intrigues of influential politicians, from the machinations of the lobbyists and from the despair of the inevitability of war, Suffering and destruction. Rescue sought Ludwig in the love for the Empress Elisabeth (&#8220;Sissi&#8221;), in the arts and the music and in the dream worlds of his numerous castles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The life of Ludwig is shown as an inner struggle between the hope of a peaceful society oriented to the arts and nature, and a reality that mercilessly opposes this utopia.<br \/>\nThe musical is about the wrestling of the adult king around the gloomy, pure world-picture of his childhood and the absolutely contrary, relentless reality. In this sense, the musical is a deep inner feeling of many people and makes Ludwig\u00b2 one of the most emotional and moving musical ever written! In 2005, the celebrated world premiere of the work was held at the F\u00fcssen Festspielhaus, and in over two years, it attracted more than 350,000 enthusiastic spectators.
