(dramatic music) (whistle blowing) Comm: For over a hundred years, the Orient Express, the world's most iconic train, crossed Europe.

If you were traveling on the Orient Express in its golden age, this is the kind of carriage you would be traveling on.

Until it's withdrawal, the train tied Europe together.

Prince Ferdinand was quoted in saying that the Orient Express is of vital interest to us.

A service famed for its glamour and luxury... This space was for the crème de la crème, the best of the best.

...that became world famous.

The Cold War made the Orient Express the hotbed of spice.

And whose legacy is still felt.

Let's say 150 years ago you came here with the Orient Express, you would have seen exactly the same mosque of today.

(upbeat music) In this series, we'll take a 2,000-mile journey across Europe.

It's always a very exciting moment when we are doing a route for the first time.

And follow a new luxury train as it retraces the fabled route, exploring the history of a golden age of train travel along the way.

(upbeat music) In the golden age of rail, a single ticket on the Orient Express network took passengers from London all the way to Istanbul, the gateway to the East.

In the '20s, the Wagons-Lits, the company that ran the Orient Express, had a luxury train network that stretched across three continents.

At the core of this network were their multiple Orient Express services.

After crossing the Channel, passengers from London would board an Orient Express train in Paris before traveling through southern Germany and Austria on their way towards Turkey.

(upbeat music fades out) (train brakes hissing) (uplifting music) On this part of the legendary journey, luxury transformed... What you see here is the translation of the Orient Express idea into individual mobility.

...a unique artistic form... Here we store about 600-700 different puppets.

..and Hitler's dark obsession.

It showed that the Nazis were able to run the Orient Express just as well as another country.

(vibrant music) From 1883 until 2007, the Orient Express left Paris daily heading east.

Although it's been years since the legendary train last left Paris, modern luxury trains still visit the city to follow in its footsteps.

It's always a very exciting moment when we are doing a route for the first time.

Dori Keresh, the chief cabin attendant, is making the final preparations before the first passengers arrive aboard the Golden Eagle Danube Express.

It's all about us striving for perfection, to give our guests a journey of a lifetime and for them to know that the moment they step onboard, we'll do our best to attend to all their needs and they really don't have to worry about any of the details because everything is going to be taken care of.

It's not really about getting from one city to another but really enjoying the time in between, the time spent on board and just doing a journey in a very relaxed and also in a very stylish way and mingle with other guests.

It's a great honor to be traveling in the footsteps of the great Orient Express.

(light-hearted music) The Gare de Lyon is one of Paris's most impressive stations.

It opened in 1899 and became a symbol of early 20th century luxury.

It's here where Europe's elite would board Le Train Bleu to the French Riviera, a sister service to the Orient Express.

In 1901, a restaurant was opened above the station to cater to the great and the good before they boarded their luxury trains.

Today, it's hosting the passengers waiting to board the Golden Eagle Danube Express's inaugural service from Paris to Istanbul.

Back on the platform, the final preparations are complete.

For Dori, this is the most exciting part of the journey.

With all 64 passengers and 38 crew on board, it's time to depart.

(train whistle blowing) (vivacious music) (train rattling) As the train begins its journey through France, it springs to life.

In the kitchens, preparations begin for the first meal on board as the two dining carriages are prepared and guests settle into their cabins.

For the next six days, this train is a luxury hotel on wheels.

For Bill Tanner, this trip is a dream come true.

We've always dreamed to go on the Orient Express and all the magical, historical, mythical characters and events that occurred on it.

I think we all like the mystery, the romance, the excitement.

And when you travel on a train like this, what are you really doing?

You know, you're going back in history.

You're living a life that's bygone, back into the days of Hercule Poirot and Murder on the Orient Express.

And so, there's a certain magic, a certain comfort, a certain...fantasy.

Bill has high expectations for this luxurious journey.

We came along with the expectations of sort of re-living, if you like, history and having a darn good look at a lot of nice geography, but in a very relaxed and very convenient and comfortable way.

And I think just to travel across Europe by train is quite unique.

When you fly, you see nothing.

Here, not only do you see things, you're embedded in them.

(dramatic music) At the heart of the train is its bar car, named Balaton.

It's here guests sit, relax and enjoy a tipple or two.

From its very first journey, the Orient Express was known for its champagne.

In the 1950s, the company had 18,000 bottles in their stores ready to be loaded onto the trains.

It was served ice-cold to passengers as views of the region's vineyards rolled by.

It's a tradition that this luxury train proudly continues.

During its golden era, it took the Orient Express almost eight hours to reach its first border crossing.

Just outside Strasbourg, it switched engines and continued into Germany.

One of its first stops was Pforzheim.

(spirited music) Over 250 years ago, a Frenchman set up a pocket watch factory here.

By 1913, more than half its residents worked in the city's jewelry and watchmaking industries.

It soon became known as Goldstadt, or the Golden City, with the Orient Express connecting the merchants to wealthy clientele.

Even today, around 75% of Germany's jewelry is made here.

One of its most influential designers is Victor Mayer.

Victor Mayer was my great-grandfather, and he was a typical son of Pforzheim in the late 19th century.

He was trained as a goldsmith at the world-famous Pforzheim Jewelry School.

And after that, he spent four or five years in Vienna learning more about jewelry making.

Today, Dr.

Marcus Mohr is carrying on the family business, one that from the very beginning relied on the Orient Express.

(train whistle blowing) Marcus M: You cannot just sell from a catalog.

You have to meet your customers to understand what they really need.

But also, it was important to see the trends in real life.

The Orient Express helped make Art Nouveau, with its flowing lines and natural motifs, fashionable in the late 19th century.

It was an aesthetic that Victor Mayer embraced wholeheartedly.

You arrived in Paris at 7 o'clock in the morning.

You spend the day getting inspired, and in the evening, you traveled home on the Orient Express back to Pforzheim.

(vibrant 20s music) By the 1920s, Pforzheim was one of the largest jewelry manufacturers in the world, employing more than 30,000 people.

Today, in one of their workshops, Victor Mayer is making the company's iconic signet rings.

Marcus M: Signet rings go back to the Roman times, and also in the 19th century they were very popular.

So, when riding the Orient Express, you would have seen many signet rings.

I can show you here our engraver.

She's now engraving a pattern of leaves of a signet ring.

That's work that takes hours, but that's the beauty of the pieces, that they're really intricate.

(elegant music) And of course, for signet rings, you have to engrave a coat of arms, either in stone or in gold.

And it's a technique that was used predominantly in the 19th century.

After the engraving, the last step of production is giving it a beautiful shine and polish.

So, what we see here, the stone has already been set, and the surface of the gold is full of scratches and little indentations, and she's now cleaning the surface.

So, here, she's spending a lot of time to make sure that it has a smooth surface.

It's like surgery.

If you use too much pressure, you destroy the shape.

Marcus is proud to keep alive traditional techniques.

Engraving a gemstone or engraving metal is something that is almost lost.

We think there's not more than 30 people who can still engrave a stone like that in Germany.

It's an almost died-out art.

The client that buys our product today is probably a similar personality than the customer who was using the Orient Express in the 19th century, because they loved design, they loved elegance, they loved style, and that's really a heritage that we're very proud of.

(uplifting music) After stopping in Pforzheim, the train pushed onwards heading for the industrial city of Stuttgart.

Stuttgart's setting in the Neckar Valley posed serious challenges for railway engineers.

For over 100 years, the city's station has been a terminus, as the geography prevented a through-line, meaning Orient Express passengers would have changed locomotives here, then reversed out the way they came.

The city's steep hills have inspired unique engineering solutions.

Stuttgart's trams, for example, are powered through every wheel to climb the slope.

For the steepest hills, an ingenious rack railway was built.

Affectionately known as the Zacke, cogs under the trains connect with racks on the track to pull the trains upwards.

While the trams are a recent addition, there's still a railway that would feel familiar to passengers on the Orient Express.

Since 1929, the Stuttgart cable car has carried people from the city to the forest cemetery above.

The original carriages are still in use today.

Handcrafted from teak and adorned with brass and enamel, passengers are transported back to the golden age of railways.

Deep underground is still the original machinery from the 1920s.

Every 20 minutes, it springs to life, pulling a 550-meter cable which connects to the two cars.

This unique train is still part of Stuttgart's public transport network and offers a glimpse of the 1920s glamour of the Orient Express.

(upbeat music) Founded around 950 AD, by the late 19th century, Stuttgart was thriving.

The city industrialized and became a manufacturing hub.

In the 1880s, it became central to a revolutionary new form of transport, the brainchild of engineer Carl Benz.

(light-hearted music) Marcus Breitschwerdt is head of Mercedes-Benz Heritage.

And its museum is home to over 160 vehicles, from the earliest models to the most covetable.

It all started...with this.

Okay, so what you see here is basically the first patented car in the world, invented in 1886 by Carl Benz.

It's a four-stroke engine with a flying wheel here, with a flat belt, wheels which then transfer the power straight here down.

And here you have the chains which give the car the power to drive.

Two passengers can sit here.

A little bit of a, let's say, delicate steering.

And here the handbrake.

There is only one gear forward and no reverse.

It went up to 15 kilometers an hour, which doesn't sound very impressive, but it was by far faster than any pedestrian could go.

And so, a big step forward in the history of mankind's mobility.

(engine chugging) (upbeat music) For decades, inventors had been trying to create a vehicle driven by a combustion engine.

Other inventors got close, but Carl Benz was the first to design, build and test one, supported by his wife, Bertha.

Marcus B: She was wealthy.

He could invest a lot of money into founding his own company.

Without his wife, Carl Benz, as gifted, talented and dedicated as he was, he never would have made it.

She basically did the most important marketing stunt in the history of the car.

And she decided to take her two sons and to travel from Mannheim, where they lived, to the city of Pforzheim, which is 100 kilometers.

And afterwards, it was quite clear, this machine doesn't kill anybody and can be maneuvered by a woman and her sons.

As luxury cars were developed in Stuttgart, inspiration was taken from the Orient Express.

So, when the Orient Express would stop at Stuttgart on a regular basis, people in this area were absolutely thrilled about it.

It was also a measurement how luxury, driven by style, could be translated into the new product of luxury cars.

(vibrant music) By the 1930s, Mercedes-Benz cars had become faster and more technologically advanced, a world apart from the genteel charm of a journey on the Orient Express.

But the two had more in common than you might think.

This now is in the '30s.

The ultimate luxury at that time, very much inspired by the Pullman cars.

Pullman railway cars were invented by American George Pullman in 1859, a concept so successful, it inspired the Orient Express.

Mercedes-Benz customers expected their cars to offer the same level of exclusivity and comfort.

The drive was really to match and to even outdo the luxury of those cars.

This one is a masterpiece of what has been possible at that time.

You have an advanced suspension compared to anything else, very long wheelbase.

As you see, it's a wide vehicle with a wide stance.

It has a very strong engine for the time.

The top speed is around 100 miles an hour, roughly.

(soft music) This 770 Grand Mercedes was built for Emperor Hirohito of Japan, and it comes with some unique features.

This one is armored and very solid.

What you can see also here on the crescent theme, the flower here, which is the emperor's specific flower.

And if you look here into the inside, that was the ultimate luxury.

And you have a window inside which you can move up.

And also, you have here the special seat for a direct adjunct to the monarch.

Now, what you see here is the driver had a leather seat and the passenger was sitting on the finest fabric available.

Nowadays, leather is more expensive than fabric.

Those days, it was the other way around.

And you couldn't get anything more expensive and more advanced than this car.

What you see here is basically the translation of the Orient Express idea into individual mobility, individual use.

(lively music) Mercedes-Benz continues to innovate in Stuttgart.

Today, new battery technology is being developed that aims to end the era of fossil fuel-powered cars.

(upbeat music) (train whistle blowing) Fourteen hours after leaving Paris, having traveled almost 1,000 kilometers through France and Germany, the Orient Express approached Munich.

(warm music) The city was a railway hub where routes across Europe converged.

It was a key stop for the Orient Express, but not just for its passengers.

The Orient Express was obsessed with making sure that everything was perfect at all times.

To maintain the train's high standards, the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits opened workshops all over Europe.

One of the largest was here in Munich.

For decades, it's been shut off to the public.

But there are still some who remember it as it was.

Wow.

(gentle music) Andreas Braun knew this place during its final years of operation in the 1970s.

It's very fine to see it again.

This is the first time he's been back in 25 years.

It was very busy.

I think in this hall about 20, 25 people are working.

20, 30 people.

Yeah, very nice to see this again.

Although it's now used for storage, the building is much as Andreas remembers it.

I think the building is original, and we see it here, the parts are from the architecture of this time, 1910 to 1920.

(vibrant music) If an Orient Express carriage developed a fault, it would be brought here.

Andreas: Wagons come in here and we had a platform for the parts of the cars that were cleaned, and then there they will be checked.

Every carriage underwent a thorough inspection.

Wheels, axles, suspension and brakes were carefully checked for signs of wear.

Even the woodwork, upholstery and wiring were examined.

The beds, toilets, washrooms, electric and so on is mostly in a bad condition.

And so, you have to renew it.

Windows came out and normally for a big repair, all metal parts will be sandblasted and then fresh coated.

(upbeat music) The workshop opened in 1913 and is just one of four on a site that covered 60,000 square meters and employed over 560 workers.

It was very busy.

Electricians, carpenters, steelworkers, engineers, and so on, yeah.

Normally here were six carriages, one was inside, four wagons, waiting for getting here on this track out to service back again.

The big windows and arched roofs may be impressive, but they made the workshop bitterly cold in the winter.

Here is one of the old heating engines, oil burnt.

These boilers gave a warm hall here inside.

I remember very cold winters here, yeah.

The workers, they need about 18, 20, 21 centigrade inside for working because you have to do with little screws and so on.

It took six to eight weeks to fully repair and refurbish a carriage and get it back up to the Orient Express's exacting standard.

The workshop closed in 2000, but it's found a new life with members of the local community, meaning that where once Orient Express carriages were serviced, now cars are being rebuilt.

(uplifting music) Munich has long been considered one of Germany's most beautiful cities.

Its ancient streets were transformed from 1876 when the first tramway was installed.

The railways were central to Munich with the Orient Express the jewel in its crown.

But in the 1920s, Munich was home to a man who hated the Orient Express... Adolf Hitler.

(sinister music) Valérie: So, we are now in the area of Munich where the Nazi Party had organized all the most important administrative offices.

One of the most important buildings used to be the so-called Führerbau .

That was the office of Adolf Hitler.

(tense music) Valérie Kieffer is a tour guide who specializes in the city's dark past.

And here around us, in all the buildings, we had the administrative offices of the Nazis.

As the Orient Express was at its most popular in the 1920s, Hitler's rise to power began here as he attempted to overthrow the German government.

With about 2,000 members of the Nazi Party, he will go from one of the most important breweries of that time attempting a military coup inside the city.

(dramatic music) The plotters hoped to march on Berlin, but they only made it as far as Munich's city center, where there was a gun battle with the police.

Sixteen Nazis were killed.

And Hitler was arrested and condemned to five years of prison.

(sinister music) During this time, he was able to write the book Mein Kampf .

Whilst writing Mein Kampf , Hitler came to see Germany's defeat in World War I as a national humiliation that needed re-addressing.

His anger centered on Germany's surrender in 1918, which was signed in a carriage owned by the company that ran the Orient Express.

They chose a coach belonging to one of the famous trains, the Société des Wagons-Lits in France.

And this wagon was actually the mobile office of the Maréchal Foch.

Ferdinand Foch was the commander-in-chief of the Allied armies who negotiated the armistice.

It was a symbol for, yeah, the capitulation of Germany after the First World War.

And so, France was one of the countries that forced Germany to sign.

During his rise to power, Hitler came to see this coach as a symbol of Germany's humiliation.

When France was defeated by Germany in 1940, it was firmly on Hitler's mind.

So, the coach was, from the beginning on, for Hitler such a strong symbol to show France that Nazi Germany was able to find its strength again and to use those symbols against France.

The railway carriage was taken back to the same forest in northern France, where, in a reversal of history, the French were forced to sign a humiliating surrender.

Hitler was able to transform a symbol of defeat to a symbol of triumph.

(dramatic music) Even then, Hitler's hatred of the Orient Express was not satiated.

He tore up all the country's contracts with the famous train.

It was not able to travel through Germany and Austria, and the normal way would have been from Paris to Istanbul, but we had a big gap in the middle of it, so it could not run anymore.

Determined to show that the Orient Express wasn't special, Hitler seized the Orient Express carriages in Germany and established his own Nazi-run alternative.

Valérie: And the carriages that were inside Germany were only used for the most important Nazi members of the party and used as a kind of privilege for them.

It was just a propaganda coup, and it showed actually that the Nazis were able to run the Orient Express just as well as another country.

(intense music) The Nazi-run train became a target for the French resistance, often with help from Orient Express staff who knew the carriages well.

Seven conductors were executed for their part in the resistance.

Many others were sent to concentration camps.

(train chugging) (gentle music) It wasn't just Orient Express conductors who stood up to Hitler.

As the war dragged on, resistance to the Nazis reached Munich too, sparked by young soldiers shaken by the atrocities they had witnessed on the Eastern Front.

They realized what the Nazi regime is doing there, and they started to fight against this politic, trying to motivate the Munich population to criticize the Nazi regime.

(somber music) Called the White Rose, the resistance movement was founded by students at Munich University, and included medical student Hans Scholl.

Hans Scholl had a sister, she was called Sophie Scholl, and as she entered into the movement, she's only 19 years old, a very young woman, very deeply convinced that what they are doing is the right thing.

The students wrote a series of pamphlets denouncing Nazi war crimes, which they distributed here in the university.

But they were aware that they were being watched.

Really scared of what is going to happen, they are absolutely conscious of the danger they are in.

Sophie Scholl will take the last pamphlet she has in her bag and she will throw them from the balcony into the courtyard of the university.

And this is the proof that was needed to arrest her and the two other members.

They will get brought to the Gestapo.

There they will be tortured and found guilty.

48 hours later, they will be guillotined.

(dramatic music) The group's final pamphlet was smuggled out of Germany after their death and later dropped by the Allies across the nation to change public perception of Nazism.

Valérie: So, this is the little memorial of the White Roses.

(poignant music) This little memorial shows although Munich was the capital of the Nazi Party, not everybody agreed with the dictator.

(poignant music swells, then fades) (suspenseful music) After the war, Wagons-Lits began reclaiming their lost trains, which had been turned into military outposts, even brothels.

Many were simply abandoned.

On 27th September 1945, just four months after VE Day, the first Orient Express left Paris for Athens.

It wasn't luxurious, but it signaled the rebirth of the legendary network.

(train whistle blowing) (upbeat music) The Golden Eagle Danube Express, a modern luxury train, is en route to Istanbul, following in the footsteps of the Orient Express in its heyday.

Every morning as the sun rises, passengers head to breakfast.

On the Orient Express, guests had a choice of omelets, grilled fish, toast and pastries, all made to order.

But as the guests ate, the cabin attendants sprang into action.

I've seen the guests going away to have some breakfast, so, their room is probably empty, but one never knows, so we always knock.

Nobody answers.

Excuse me.

It seems the room is empty, so now we go in, let some light in, (upbeat music) and a bit of fresh air.

And the next thing we do here is to shake the duvet to air it a bit.

In its heyday, the sleeping compartments on the Orient Express were the most luxurious way to travel.

Beds were made up with silk sheets, the finest woolen blankets and eiderdown comforters.

Then the pillows come, and then I will just lift this part of the bed and push it in.

It goes right there.

Then I lift the other part and take out the pillows.

With the bedclothes neatly packed away, Ildi Szekeres makes the room day-ready.

Ildi: So, we are putting down the pillows into the corner... like that.

So, the big one comes here to support the back, and this one is to support the arms.

Every morning, Orient Express conductors would perform much the same routine.

It's amazing that what I'm doing here, they were doing that on the Orient Express 100 years ago.

The Orient Express conductors were famous.

They were required to be available at all times and were expected to uphold the strictest discretion.

Many served much of their life on the train.

So, I've been working on this train four years.

I enjoy it very much, especially meeting new people.

The guests are very, very kind.

Joyful, relaxed people.

And it's just fun to be of use.

(joyful music) (upbeat music) (train whistle blowing) After the Orient Express left Paris, it was around a thousand-mile journey to reach southern Germany.

Once they had traveled through Stuttgart and Munich, their next stop was the ancient Austrian city of Salzburg, a booming salt-mining town in the Middle Ages.

Salzburg's atmospheric old town has barely changed in centuries, with ornate guild signs still hanging from its buildings.

Orient Express passengers who left the train here were directed to its historic Mirabellgarten and its ancient religious sites, (church bells chiming) a subject that's close to tour guide Heidi Hochriesser's heart.

Here we are in the oldest convent, the convent of Nonnberg, which was founded over 1,300 years ago.

And at the moment, there are about 11 nuns living here in a very strict cloister, but they have a wonderful place.

This is the first time the nuns have ever allowed filming within the walls of the convent.

Heidi: It was founded by Rupert.

Rupert was a bishop of Worms.

In the year 696, he came to Salzburg.

He founded two monasteries, St Peter and this one here.

In the 1920s, it became home to a woman who would make Salzburg famous, Maria Augusta von Kutschera, the real-life Maria in The Sound of Music.

There was a family, a baron.

He had seven children and was widowed.

So, he needed somebody for his children.

He needed a teacher.

He went up here.

He went to Mother Superior and said, "Have you got somebody who helps me educating my children?"

And she said, "Take Maria."

Because Maria was a very, very lively person.

She loved children, but first she hesitated.

She was an orphan.

Her mother died when she was a few months old.

Her father died when she was three.

And she had an awful childhood.

The person who was in charge with her, an uncle, was a nasty person.

He was beating her up every day for things that she hadn't done.

And so, when she grew up, she went to Salzburg.

Here she was in peace and nothing would harm her.

Maria accepted the job, and when her contract finished, she returned to the convent.

Heidi: The children were very sad.

They wanted her back.

So, the baron asked her to marry him.

(church organ music) This is the church where Maria and the Baron of Trapp got married in 1927.

It was a wonderful wedding.

She wore a beautiful, long, white dress, and it must have been a wonderful day with the children around them.

The Baron was a great violin player.

He was a musician.

He loved music.

But she came with her guitar.

Suddenly they became a real choir.

(apprehensive music) By March 1938, the von Trapps' idyllic existence was threatened when the Nazis marched into Austria and the family was asked to sing at Hitler's birthday.

Of course, they didn't want to sing for Hitler.

So, they decided to go to America.

And in America, they became a very, very famous choir.

They called themselves the Trapp Family Singers.

And they toured the whole of America.

They toured South America, everywhere, and didn't come back to Austria.

They only came back for visits.

(uplifting music) The von Trapps became so well known that by the 1950s and 1960s, Orient Express passengers knew the city primarily for the family.

In 1965, the film The Sound of Music, largely filmed in the city, kicked the fame into overdrive.

60 years on, the story is still celebrated somewhere that would have been familiar to Orient Express passengers, Salzburg's 110-year-old Marionette Theater.

Philippe: The Marionette Theater is a very special institution.

It was founded in 1913 by sculptor Anton Aicher.

When I was six years old, I visited this theater for the first time, and after my studies, I came here to do this as a profession.

Philippe Brunner has been with the company for the last 22 years and is now its Artistic Director.

We mostly do plays, we do operas, we do ballets, we do children's performances, and also, musicals like The Sound of Music, which is also very important in Salzburg, of course.

So, here's our puppet room.

Here we store about 600-700 different puppets.

These are the puppets of The Sound of Music here, and now I will grab one and show you how we perform.

This special little control was also created by Anton Aicher as he wanted his puppets to move like small human beings with very organic movements.

But it needs a lot of dexterity and a lot of sensitivity, and it needs, of course, the experience of many years.

We have this little T-shaped piece of wood below a small triangle where three strings are fixed for the head.

And we have this little stick in front where we move the arms.

And if we lean this T-piece to the left and to the right, the puppet can walk, yeah?

(light-hearted music) You never watch what your fingers up here are doing.

You only look down to the puppet, move like this.

It's like that we are hidden actors.

We build and make all the puppets here in the house, and also the sets.

So, the puppeteers are not only playing the performances, but also making the puppets.

So, the relation between puppeteer and the puppet is very close.

They all have strings, so we cannot take off their clothes.

We have to build puppets if there is a costume change.

We have three sets of children in different costumes for Maria.

We have five different puppets.

And we have a lot of scenery that needs to be moved around during the show.

And what is especially difficult in The Sound of Music is all the dancing.

You have always nearly at least eight to ten puppets on stage.

So, it needs a lot of technique to make the puppets go around, to have them passed on from one player to another.

Yeah, it's quite a tricky show.

Since The Sound of Music was first performed in 2007, it has become one of the theater's most popular shows.

I think it's very important to show the local audience and the audience from Germany that something like The Sound of Music exists and that it is connected to their history as well.

So, we are very happy to have this show in our repertoire and to keep it alive.

(spirited music)
