Rob and Ferdi Bolland are working together again after 20 years of no contact. The composing brothers let in on Monday The Telegraph know how to participate in a new musical about the Austrian musician Falco (1957-1998).
The musical should premiere in 2021 or according to Ferdi Bolland “after corona in any case”. “New songs have to be written for new roles to be added to the story,” explains Rob Bolland about the cooperation of the brothers. It is not known whether the Falco musical will also be shown in the Netherlands.
The Viennese producer who approached the brothers for the musical project, according to the 64-year-old Ferdi Bolland, did not know that the brothers had not seen each other for twenty years until recently. The brothers reconciled after it was announced in August that 65-year-old Rob Bolland was leaving in August know that he can no longer be cured of cancer.
In the 1990s, the two composing brothers already collaborated on two musicals about Falco, the stage name of Johann Hölzel. The brothers wrote several songs for the singer. In 1986 the latter was written by the brothers Rock me Amadeus as the only German-language song to ever rank first in the US Billboard Hot 100.
