From the backwaters of rural Bavaria to the dizzying heights of Las Vegas, this is an unconventional love story fuelled by passion, ambition, and a desire to inspire the world with magic and imagination. As Siegfried often said, “In magic, anything is possible.”

Siegfried with his love of magic and Roy with his connection to wild animals combined to become the highest paid act in the history of the Las Vegas strip. Their dream famously came crashing down when Roy was mauled on stage by his beloved white tiger Mantecore. Their rags to riches story ended with an attack by the very thing that got them there in the first place. In the spirit of a Greek tragedy, you are most hurt by what you most love.

At times camp and comedic, at times heart-rending and tragic, their story with its cast of larger-than-life characters, sweeping narrative, and dizzying emotional highs and lows, is nothing short of operatic.
