Willemijn’s musical career began in 2000 in the Dutch production of ELISABETH where she was part of the ensemble. A few years later she starred in the lead role of Elisabeth in the Swiss production of the Thunerseespiele on an open-air stage. ELISABETH tells the story of the Empress Elisabeth of Austria (known as “Sissi”) and portrays her life and death in a drama-musical. Translated into seven languages and seen by over ten million spectators worldwide, ELISABETH is the most successful German-language musical of all time.
