Peter Maffay (74) probably won’t be putting his feet up any time soon. The singer has had a remarkable career: he has released 20 number one albums and sold over 50 million records. However, the big concerts will soon be over: the musician will go on tour for the last time in the summer. After that, he would like to concentrate more on his family, but he also wants to continue his career: Peter has a new mega project on the go!
Peter would like to spend the fall with his wife Hendrikje (36) bring their children’s book series “Anouk” to the stage as a musical. The two of them wrote the stories for their five-year-old daughter, who has the same name. There is now a playbook for it and songs have already been recorded. “The audience will be taken into a world full of fantasy and adventure in which friendship, courage and tolerance are the focus. The stage adaptation remains true to the successful children’s books and conveys their valuable messages,” promises the 74-year-old to Bild.
“Anouk” will not Peters be your first musical experience. A good 40 years ago he invented the dragon “Tabaluga”, which has thrilled generations with its stories ever since. From 1993 to 2001 there was a musical called “Tabaluga & Lilli”. At first, the “I never wanted to be an adult” interpreter didn’t believe in the fairy tale character’s great success. “We then realized what power there was in this small figure and in the stories,” he once revealed in an interview with Glamial.
