Maria Theresa - Legacy of an EmpressMaria Theresia - Vermächtnis einer Kaiserin
Long before women's emancipation was conceivable, Maria Theresia was the first woman to change the history of the Habsburg Empire: her era was the monarchy's golden age. Austria had never been as modern, glorious or prestigious as it was during her reign. One visible sign of this confidence was Schönbrunn castle, which mirrored her majesty. This year, for the 300th anniversary of her birth, director Georg Riha reveals his perspective on the Austrian icon. He dives right into the regent's late baroque period to tell her extraordinary story through fantastic imagery.
