Ruth Brauer-Kvam: “No one shaped pre-war operetta like Fritzi Massary. She fought her way up to the Olympus of operetta like no other. She was the celebrated star of the Metropol Theater in Berlin. There she met the famous actor Max Pallenberg, a master of his art. Two people couldn't be more different, and that's why their love for each other was so great. These birds of paradise flew high and fell low. We want to tell her story filled with music, Jewish humor, feathers and sequins. Drama meets operetta, Palfrader meets Brauer. A tribute to the artists who inspire us!”

Volksoper Wien

The idyllic village of Maria Blut, with its pilgrimage chapel, lies a few hours by train from Vienna. It's the 1930s, a corporate state and civil war, Dollfuß is Chancellor, and the natives of the "Austrian Lourdes" are in a state of unrest. The canning factory is closing, and CEO Schellbach is trying to persuade the population to invest in his new product, Raumkraft (space power). Many are spending their last savings on it. When Schellbach shoots himself during a folk festival, a tremendous momentum develops: The alleged culprits are quickly found – and things are becoming extremely dangerous for them.
