Horse musical

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Horse musicals are musicals in which horses are the stars. In 1995 at the horse trade show PFERD ZURICH the name horsemusical - Pferdemusical in German - was created by the organizers among them Dieter Speidel from Avenches (www.avenches.ch). In the following years Dieter Speidel has produced other horsemusicals (www.horsemusical.com), such as "Le Prince", a play that is telling the story of the legend of Louis Henri de Bourbon, the 7th Prince de Condé (Chantilly 1692 - 1740) who believed to be a horse in his next live and therefore told architecte Jean Aubert to build the 'Grandes Écuries' in Chantilly near Paris, huge castle like looking stables which offer room for more than 300 horses. The Prince was able to see the stables when he had breakfast on the balcony of his water castle in Chantilly. The horsemusical "Le Prince" (music composed by Mike Turtle, London & Basel) played first in 2001 at the world's largest horse fair, Equitana in Essen, Germany (www.equitana.de) and then played almost 100 times in Germany, Switzerland and France. Since then Dieter S. Speidel produced other horsemusicals such as "The Horse Prince Dinner Theater" of which a trailer is nominated to the 2006 EPONA film festival in Cabourg, France (www.chevalfrancais.com) . Dieter S. Speidel has since opened IL TÉÂTRO ÉQUESTRE which is his production company for horsemusicals (www.horsemusical.com) in Zug, Switzerland and produces horsemusicals in Avenches (www.avenches.ch) at the INSTITUT ÉQUESTRE NATIONAL AVENCHES (www.iena.ch), such as "Le Pardon", "La Légende de la Licorne", CHEVAL FIESTA and in Berne at BEA (www.beaexpo.ch), with the reprise of "Le Prince" in April 2007.
