Performer: Carsten Süß

Opulenz in Bild und Ton, garniert mit Wiener Schmäh.

Wies'n Stimmung an der Volksoper: In der bunten und schrägen Neuinszenierung gefallen Sigrid Hauser als resche Rössl-Wirtin und Daniel Prohaska als verliebt-schmachtender Zahlkellner Leopold

Emmerich Kálmán’s Gräfin Mariza is celebrating her 90th birthday this year, but just like my slightly younger great-aunts, who introduced me to this operetta at the tender age of five, she is far from ready for a care home. Thomas Enzinger and set/costume designer Toto have come up with another imaginative response to the question of why and how the bygone genre of operetta should be produced today.
