This is the world’s longest railway tunnel. It is a gigantic 57 kilometres long, it took 17 years to build, and more than 600 performers took part in the opening ceremony. Winkler handled the technical side of the artistic work choreographed by Volker Hesse to serenade the opening of the Gotthard Base Tunnel. The event required eight lorry loads of equipment, 30 beamers, around 600 spotlights and more than 700 person-days.
