World premiere

Music theatre after the operetta by Johann Strauss, updated by Andreas Schett and Markus Kraler, libretto by Roland Schimmelpfennig.

First performed in 1885, Strauss’ operetta was an immediate success. In musical terms, it is one of his most ambitious works. On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the composer’s birth, the work undergoes a musical and literary updating of its highly controversial subject matter, pointing up the tensions beneath the surface and situating them in a present-day context.
