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.

Wagner’s The Flying Dutchman is a tale not only about redemption through love, but also about the helpless plight of human beings in the face of wilful and vindictive supernatural forces. In the hands of Wagner, the mythical Dutchman, instead of being a collector of itinerant souls at sea, has become an intrepid adventurer condemned to eternal maritime wandering.
