Dr. Kunze is the most successful librettist in the history of German musical theater. His musical workshop is based on his unique structure of a dramatic story...

A Giant Musical Author in Europe and Asia

Michael Kunze's musical workshop shall introduce his art to America

For almost two decades, not a day has gone by without a rousing performance of Michael Kunze's hit-musical ELISABETH in one of the great musical theater houses of Europe or Asia. The story of the legendary Austrian Empress and her adventures at the Viennese Court have fascinated audiences over and over, literally. Many fans report excitedly about their second and third viewings.

Similar records are broken by Dr. Kunze's second success - the musical REBECCA. Many of us have seen the great Hollywood-hit by Alfred Hitchcock, but this musical drama treatment opens much deeper gates to emotional "secret gardens". A Broadway production is currently in the works for a tentative early 2012 release.

The musical MOZART! has seen premieres across many European countries. However, its success in South Korea is unparalleled in the history if this nation.

Michael Kunze and composer Sylvester Levay are celebrated super-stars in Japan, due to unheard-of box office gross receipts for their musical MARIE ANTOINETTE.

DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES, by Michael Kunze and Roman Polanski, is number five in this series of European drama musicals. An unauthorized version saw a brief run on Broadway but flopped shortly thereafter. Dr. Kunze had withdrawn his name from a butchered production that simply didn't work anymore.
