At a time when the world was dancing on the edge of the volcano, Matthias Sindelar, the leader and star of the 1934 Austrian ‘Wunderteam” (miracle team), captivated the world with his dazzling play, revolutionizing the game of soccer. With Fascism in the air and war on the horizon, Sindelar and the Austrian soccer team were one of the great sports stories of the time and a repository of hope. His rapid rise to fame would eventually lead him to cross paths with composer Paul Abrahám, the toast of the Berlin operetta scene, leading to one of the most unlikely collaborations of both the sports and operetta worlds. Join us for an evening of brilliant music as we delve into the compelling stories of their extraordinary lives.
