When the Kastelruther Spatzen flew out of the casino

The Kastelruther Spatzen have been on stage for 40 years - and will be back at Lake Wörthersee this summer. The last time they flew out of the Casino Velden, as they reveal to the "Krone".

Christmas ambience, snow flurries, mountain hut fun - the setting for a conversation about the Kastelruther Spatzen's big summer open air on June 28th in the eastern bay of Lake Wörthersee couldn't be more fitting. "We're really looking forward to our return to the lake. In our early days, we had a short appearance in the series 'Ein Schloss am Wörthersee'. Without a fee, of course - that was a great honor for us," says Norbert Rier in a relaxed atmosphere.

"Yes, and some of us even got kicked out of the casino," reveals Spatzen veteran Albin Gross, looking across the table with a grin. But not because his colleagues didn't behave: "We wanted to take a shortcut back then and the door was open. We didn't know it was the casino - so we marched in wearing shorts and flip-flops. Security didn't like that and politely threw us out. Maybe we'll try our luck again in the summer - but this time dressed appropriately."
