Our Animals - Elephants - Musical Stars

As an ensemble dancer in the Krone-Musical, COLONEL JOE with elephant
bride Clara Puydebois, DEHLI with Svetlana, BARA with animal trainer
Jana Mandana and far right BURMA with Ballerina Laureen, greets the public.

In the foreground, the Maitre de Ballet: James Puydebois presents
the glamorously adorned Krone elephants: As Musical Stars.

In the center point this time, Colonel Joe, the largest bull-elephant in the
world together with three heavy weights and three fleet light footed Show-Girls
reacts in tact to the music and impresses through his sheer size and flexibility.


The prelude to the heaviest show of the world. To melodies from the musical
"A Chorus Line", Krone's heraldic animals prove that pachyderms also have elegance.

Jana Mandana "up to trunk". The graceful three of House Krone:
DEHLI, BARA and BURMA follow with elegant hip swings.

Close dancing. An elephant's-polonaise of a slightly different sort.


Raise the leg. Happiness is not always found on the backs of horses.
It is sometimes found on the back of an elephant.


Elegant and creative, sensitive and playful,
the illustrious elephants demonstrate the full repertoire of their
dressage art with many impressive group photos and changes of tempo.


Ballet director James Puydebois and his adorable charges in the manege.


There must be boundless trust among the elephants.

Precarious meeting between 7.000 kg and 70 kg. The largest bull-elephant
in the world, Colonel Joe weighs 7 t , stands 3.50 tall and possesses
1.80 meters long snow - white tusks. A picture of a "man".

A Chorus Line is greeted. Our magnificent pachyderms would pass an audition with flying colors capturing first place.

Departure from an appreciative public. Once again, our
pachyderms capture the hearts of the Krone-Fans with their dance.

The close and notable experience of theses adorable colossuses in
the manege to this day belongs to the most fascinating moments of
a circus visit. ONE CERTAINLY MUST NOT MISS SUCH AN EVENT.
