Glorious hours of operetta with Marie Giroux, Joseph Schnurr and Jenny Schäuffelen
Imagine yourself in Vienna at the turn of the century at the height of the operetta... It was
the time when soubrettes were not only praised for their vocal qualities, but also because they presented themselves extremely freely on stage. And the concerned Émile Zola even said that operetta should be strangled like a noxious animal....
But if you forget the morals, then it's a very carefree life!
Unfortunately, the next few hours will not always be extremely politically correct, but they will certainly be amusing when Ralph Benatzky bows to a rainy window pane out of sheer vanity or when Emmerich Kálmán is mistaken for Franz Lehár at the customs office... This and much more awaits you on this evening.
You will also learn interesting facts about the fashion of the time, the secrets of the Sacher cake and the Viennese waltz. It will be musically elegant and refined, with lots of icing on the cake and delicacies in the form of arias, melodies and duets - from Strauss and Stolz to Lehár and Offenbach - in the most beautiful vocal colors of a mezzo-soprano and a tenor... Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of operetta and take a look behind the scenes with us!
