Enter the Muses and Music on Wagons
Prince Frederick's parents, King Johann Friedrich and Queen Barbara Sophia, invited royalty from all over Europe to his christening, and threw a very fancy, 2-week dance party- it became legend. Piffaro's show this weekend on Saturday, October 23 and Sunday, October 24, is a reconstruction of the prince's (aka Prince Frederich Hertzog zu Württenberg) event in Stuggart in 1616. Bob, Piffaro's main researcher and co-artistic director, found a collection of pictures of the event. Each day this week, leading up to the performances this weekend, find pictures from the collection right here!
