Operetta by Emmerich Kálmán
In German with German surtitles

Can a prince's son marry a chansonette? Does it really matter when the whole world is upside down anyway? Where is it all going to lead? One thing is certain: "You only live once! And once is not once!" At the heart of Emmerich Kálmán's most famous and most frequently performed operetta is a relationship that is impossible due to social differences. Sylva, the celebrated vaudeville diva of the Orpheum, is on her way to America to make a career there, as her lover Edwin's fiancée and cousin Stasi is waiting for him at the princely palace. Edwin's parents think she is the more suitable choice, but rescue is at hand. Count Bóni, who knows how to have a good time, and Feri bácsi, who knows all of Orpheum's love tricks, rush to the aid of their favorite Sylva so that she can see Edwin again. Thus begins a fast-paced game full of risks and misunderstandings, secrets and promises, in which everyone has something to lose. Operetta specialist Stephanie Schimmer, whose "Fledermaus" caused the packed Rose Garden to tremble last year, takes a close look at Kálmán's characters and their relationships, providing lively entertainment with real depth.
