Falco Meets Amadeus is a fantasy meeting of two musical legends from different centuries with similar biographies and equally short lives. Falco, the Viennese popstar of the 1980s, caused much sensation throughout Europe due to his glamorous lifestyle and enormous talent. A pioneering figure in German language rap music—still growing in popularity well into the twenty-first century—Falco, born Hans Hölzel in Vienna, died tragically at age forty in an automobile accident while on tour in the Dominican Republic. The life of the other figure in the musical, Falco's lifelong idol Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, is well known. The hook in Buckhard Driest's dramatic narrative is the surprise similarity between their lives; sex, drugs, alcohol, and countless affairs with women characterized both men's lives and, ultimately, brought about the demise of each. Their meeting in the afterlife is the story of this high concept rock musical.


The music for Falco Meets Amadeus consists of thirteen of Falco's preexisting hit songs supplemented by new arrangements of Mozart's music
