Der letzte Csárdás in Budapest
Der Volksoper Wien gelingt bei Emmerich Kálmáns Operette die Gratwanderung zwischen fröhlicher Party und latenter Untergangsstimmung und bietet ein temperamentvolles Ensemble und Orchester auf.
Die Csárdásfürstin in a long-standing but still valid production at the Volksoper
Die Csárdásfürstin is set at the beginning of World War I, a time of uncertainty and fear, but also one where the ruling classes of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy were partying like there was no tomorrow.
The Volksoper’s Csárdásfürstin keeps things fun
The Volksoper Wien’s first-rate production of “Die Csárdásfürstin” (“The Csárdás Princess”) offers a rare chance to waltz through one of operetta’s most tuneful hits. Emmerich Kálmán’s score, to a libretto by Béla Jenbach, is a frothy concoction of romance, hedonism, and too much time spent in nightclubs.
