The Blue Danube is in itself the expression of the universe of the waltz. None other than The Blue Danube can embody the essence of the waltz so eloquently and precisely in form and spirit. But can this alone suffice to explain the worldwide success this waltz has met with? Indeed not: the waltz is also popular for a certain amount of historical, diplomatic and political reasons. The film will guide us through the origins of this musical piece, its history and how it was miraculously saved from disappearance and will show us how, very early on, the waltz became part of history and has remained there ever since. Finally, the film illustrates its ever-growing success with specialists and the greater public alike. Between music and politics, History and success, “high” and popular culture, we will leave on an unprecedented musical trip that will cross every important historical event in the last 150 years.
