Presta, born in Rome in 1961, is an actor and author for stage, film and television, and since 1995 writer and host of the Rai Radio 2 show Il Ruggito del Coniglio. His story follows the bitter music producer Aurelio Scrocchia: when the talentless singer Salomè is to perform on Christmas Eve in a lavish TV show, he accidentally swallows a hallucinogenic pill and suddenly three ghosts appear before him. The witty, fast-paced and moving Christmas satire nods winking to Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol and tells of lost ideals, second chances and the power of hope. Actor Hanspeter Müller-Drossaart reads passages from the German translation, and the evening is hosted by Eleonora Rothenberger.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/zurich/events/marco-presta-scrooge-sucht-den-superstar-123286/", "official_url": "", "image": "https://noky.io/images/5cb9cbf46dd0ac300e40f6c75a87666790b3ce5280238ab79917659b73bf0fb1-1200.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-21T19:00:00+01:00", "end": null, "place": "Orell Füssli Bellevue", "address": "", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "Der Messias - eine Weihnachtskomödie!", "start": "2026-11-20T20:00:00+01:00", "end": "2026-11-20T22:20:00+01:00", "place": "Theater Weisser Wind", "address": "Oberdorfstrasse 20, 8001 Zürich", "price": "", "price_from": null, "price_to": null, "category": "theatre", "tags": ["stage/theatre/comedy", "occasion/christmas"], "description": "'Der Messias - eine Weihnachtskomödie!' is a theatre evening at the Theatersaal Weisser Wind.
