July - August 2008

This year, for the first time, the festival theatre Gutenstein/Lower Austria shows a musical: "Tutanchamun" tells the story of the most famous pharao of classical antiquity. From his childhood, his coronation at the age of nine, his difficult regency which was overshadowed by struggles for power and intrigues at the court to the story of his great love for Anchesenamun. Moving and humourously, embedded into the exotic of mystic rituals and fantastic representations of ancient Egypt.

In this production, Harald will be "Ofir", the king's first writer. According to the role's description a "pernickety bureaucrat and opportunist who always knows everything better; a great character role with comedian talent".
