Franz Gasser, a Swiss acrobatic trapeze artist, was brought to Australia by the Bullen Brothers Circus in the early 1960s. Gasser remained in Australia, and with his Australian wife Manuela established Circus Royale in 1971. Circus Royale prospered in the 1980's and toured to New Zealand and South East Asia. Franz Gasser was innovative, and introduced the first vinyl Big Top tent into Australia. The circus was taken over by Damian Syred in 2007. Link to catalogue record.
