• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

  King of the Circus is an Austrian feature film from 1954 by Ernst Marischka starring Rudolf Schock and Germaine Damar .

  Plot
  Circus performer Fritz is part of the “3 Meteors,” a troupe of artists consisting of himself and his buddies Billy and Heinz, whose star act on the trapeze is a double somersault without a net over a ring filled with tigers. While the world of traveling performers is his entire life, Fritz also possesses a gifted voice, which, according to music teacher and manager Charles Belleroy, could fill entire concert halls.

  Fritz then leaves the ring and from then on showcases his vocal talent with arias from Flotow’s Martha, Verdi’s Aida, and a song by Rossini. He also seems to be fortunate in love, but in the battle for the heart of the beautiful acrobatic dancer Susi Brinkmann, he faces stiff competition from the acrobat and dancer Jack Holl. In Zurich, he reunites with his two old companions, Billy and Heinz, and is immediately captivated by the circus atmosphere once more. Fritz rejects a tempting offer from American showbiz agents and instead returns to the ring as a singing circus acrobat.
