Prince Sandor of Sylvaria had to sell his castle to bring some money into the state coffers. The new owner is the American Mary, who believes she can buy anything with money – but she encounters resistance when it comes to Sandor's heart. The two couldn't be more different: she's a lighthearted jazz fan, while his heart (still) dances to three-quarter time. Add to that a typical operetta farce full of the finest humor.

The Duchess of Chicago

Scharoun-Theater Wolfsburg

Smetana's Bartered Bride depicts the state of emergency into which an entire Czech village is plunged during the fair and the seemingly hopeless struggle of a young woman for her seemingly betrayed and sold love. The utopian counter-world of a traveling circus holds up a mirror to the villagers' desires, their dependencies, fears and hopes.

Die verkaufte Braut (Prodaná Nevěsta)

Vienna State Opera

Great Italian drama! A stage full of "real life", with artificially created, convincing reality: sobbing, wheezing, crying, transformation, exhaustion, garnished with a sugary-sweet "bell choir" and a real fight for the best view of the village theater, which becomes the scene of a bloody tragedy. Pagliacci is a big, glittering, shimmering, escalating show that piles up all the advantages of Italian opera - until at the end everything collapses and only one thing remains: the unvarnished finale. And you never know how close it comes to real life.
