Work: Der Opernball

Summer in Austria is about fleeing from the oppressive heat of the city and attending cultural events. Every hamlet where a musician of note spent the night, ate a meal or used the toilet seems to have its own little music festival. Located about 25km outside of Vienna, Baden is the closest escape.

Die Neuinszenierung von Richard Heubergers Operette ließ Charme, Ironie und Walzerseligkeit vermissen und konnte, trotz einiger guter Momente, über weite Strecken auch musikalisch nicht gänzlich überzeugen.
