Christina Lugner: Richard fights like a phoenix, despite serious complications!

The 67th Opera Ball in Vienna was an emotional moment for his ex-wife Christina Lugner, who spoke about the first ball without him at OE24. She wistfully remembered that Richard was in her thoughts, "with his cylinder, left and right Engerl", and proud of his daughter Jacqueline, who lifts her father's legacy to a new level. Christina, also known as "Mausi", wore an emerald green dress that Jacqueline once wore to Richard's 89th birthday. The Lugner lodge was always kept free for Richard during the evening to honor his presence. The homage of the artist Alec Monopoly, who sprayed a picture of Richard on the Lugner City, was particularly moving.

Richard Lugner's state of health

Despite his health setback, Richard remains more active than ever. He continues to organize his professional matters from the hospital bed and thus proves his iron will. "He is really absolutely top, top, top," emphasizes Mausi Lugner, while she is optimistic that Richard will soon get up "how the phoenix from the ashes" will get up from the hospital. These words reflect the admiration and respect that the Lugner family feels for the patriarchal head of their family and show how strong the band remains despite the earlier separation.
