A jazz operetta Ball at the Savoy – the best-known work by Paul Abraham, the king of 1930s European operetta –, is rolling like a tsunami to the State Opera in Prague within the project Musica non grata! The music of Ball im Savoy, depicting a crazy story abounding in witty conspiracies, mistaken identities and amorous sparkle, blends jazz, czardas, tango, Viennese waltz, klezmer, as well as dance creations à la Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. The production, directed by Martin Čičvák, will be conducted by Jan Kučera. The lead role of Madeleine de Faublas has been assigned to two dangerously beautiful sopranos with angelic voices: Vanda Šípová and Doubravka Součková. In Czech language with German and English subtitles.
