Bregenz

His death was announced in a statement by Kunsthaus Bregenz, an art museum in Bregenz, Austria, that is currently hosting an exhibition by Mr. Brus.

Mr. Maksoud went to visit Mr. Perou, who was living there that summer and playing a gorilla in Verdi’s opera “Rigoletto” at Seebühne Bregenz.

In the two years that followed, they met up with each other in different cities, including Bregenz, Austria in July 2021.

Not until 2010 did the work have its premiere as a fully staged production, at the Bregenz Festival in Austria under the direction of David Pountney.

In Bregenz, we hopped aboard the city’s famed Pfänderbahn cable car, which takes six minutes from the heart of the city to reach Pfänder, a 3,490-foot peak.
