ELISABETH Das Musical @ Shanghai Culture Square

The musical ELISABETH dramatizes the tragic life of Austria’s Empress Sisi—from her fairy-tale marriage to Emperor Franz Joseph to her rebellion against royal constraints.
Haunted by Death, who covets her soul, she battles depression, loss, and political intrigue. With a soaring score and dark romanticism, the story explores her quest for freedom and the fall of the Habsburg Empire.
Now, ELISABETH returns to Shanghai in a stunning concert version—stripping back the staging to emphasize its sweeping score and powerful storytelling.
Minimalist yet evocative set design, opulent costumes, and dynamic LED visuals create an immersive experience, while a stellar cast and live European orchestra bring Sylvester Levay’s stirring music to life.
