It’s a true cult performance: My Fair Lady explores the power of language, and the power struggle between men and women. Since 1979, the musical has been captivating audiences at the Volksoper. Phonetics professor Dr. Higgins transforms the flower girl Eliza Doolittle into a lady of high society through rigorous language training. However, does Higgins not only manipulate Eliza’s language, but her feelings as well?

Ruth Brauer-Kvam takes a new look at a beloved production with a fantastic ensemble, blowing away the dust that has accumulated over the years and allowing My Fair Lady to shine once again in its old-new brilliance!

My Fair Lady

Volksoper Wien

London, 1912. In front of the Opera House, linguist Professor Higgins notices flower seller Eliza Doolittle, who chatters away in a rough "Cockney" dialect. Fascinated and horrified, Higgins bets that his linguistic methods can transform Eliza into a "gentlewoman" in just a few months. She is to demonstrate her skills at the Ascot races and the Diplomatic Ball. The question remains, however, who is "educating" whom. For the emancipated Eliza also turns Higgins' life upside down.

My Fair Lady follows the journey of Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl who becomes the subject of a social experiment by Professor Henry Higgins, a phonetics expert. Higgins bets he can transform Eliza into a refined lady capable of passing as a duchess at a high-society ball through speech training. As Eliza masters her new persona, she begins to assert her independence, challenging Higgins’ views on class and gender. The story explores themes of identity, self-worth, and human connection with wit and charm. Set against a vibrant Edwardian London backdrop, the musical features iconic songs like “I Could Have Danced All Night” and “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly.”

Union Avenue Opera

Based on the film adaptation of George Bernard Shaw’s 1913 play Pygmalion, Lerner and Loewe's My Fair Lady is a beautiful musical about transformation, patronage, gender politics and class. Acclaimed phonetician Henry Higgins makes a wager that in six months he can pass off Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl, as a duchess at an embassy ball. But through arduous training, day and night, this innocuous bet turns into something much more.

Gene Kelly: A Life in Music

Orpheum

My Fair Lady is a beautiful musical about transformation, patronage, gender politics and class, based on George Bernard Shaw’s play, Pygmalion. Acclaimed Professor and confirmed bachelor Henry Higgins makes a wager with his linguistic colleague Colonel Pickering that in six months he can pass off “gutter snipe” Eliza Doolittle as a duchess at an embassy ball. Through arduous training, day and night, Eliza learns how to speak English “properly,” and transforms into a lady respected and adored by all classes. Along the way she bewitches young Freddy Einsford-Hill into falling in love with her, and convinces a supposed linguistics expert that she is royalty. Through her transformation process, Eliza forges a deep connection with Colonel Pickering and most especially with Professor Higgins. However, she finds herself in a difficult position, now too refined to go back to her old life and not with any means or desire to live life as a lady of leisure – especially by herself. When Higgins completely fails to acknowledge Eliza’s role in her own transformation, she leaves his home. It is only then that Higgins realizes that he cares deeply for Eliza. The play ends with Eliza’s return to Higgins’ home, and the ending is left ambiguous, yet it is beloved for being both one of the cleverest and one of the most romantic plays of all time.
