Lecturetainment
the witty way to learn and enjoy
A story larger than life!
Did you know that it was said that Sir Peter Paul Rubens mixed blood into his paint or do you know why the Austrian Empress Elisabeth never smiled? Did you know that Giuseppe Verdi went to St. Petersburg in fluffy fur underwear or that Casanova was actually a priest? Is it a surprise for you that the death of Peter Tchaikovsky is still a mystery?
Interesting questions, unexpected answers, fascinating stories, larger than life, told and performed in a lively manner.
Lecturetainment, the modern way of telling a true story: meet real people out of the history books, enjoy the witty and entertaining episodes told by famous people 'themselves' presented with a colourful and rich slide presentation and music or a corresponding dinner. See a kaleidoscope of art, culture, society and politics of times gone by. Profound knowledge, background information and a charming presentation offer you a journey in time – simply the easy way to learn.
Why Lecturetainment?
A few years ago I was travelling on the Danube with American guests and I wondered how one could present 500 years of Austrian history in an entertaining way? So I slipped into the character of Empress Elisabeth and the enthusiastic reactions proved that history does not have to be boring. Many times I’ve heard after a performance: “I wish I had a teacher like you at school, I would have been much better in history”
