I believe that Christel Sembach-Krone was "La Grande Dame" of European circus (with Moira Orfei in Italy). Circus Krone is still THE big traditional circus, showing for many years the best animal acts in the world, on tour or during the 3 :different winter shows in the Munchen building. Horses were the real love of CSK and she presented all the home liberty acts until 2006 : one of her speciality was a big carrousel with 24 horses (u can see on you tube : circus krone - liberty horses 1969). She also presented some very original acts : horses and elephants, "Bijoya" the cycling elephant, and the unique duo of "Baluku" a giant giraffe and "Ghazi" the horse who passed under the giraffe !

When Larry Allen Dean had this act, he went for a vintage look from times long past, and for him it worked.
