Emmerich Kálmán's early stroke of genius has lost none of its appeal more than 100 years after its premiere (1915). Like no other work, Emmerich Kálmán's operetta stands for the end of the Danube monarchy and the silver era of Viennese operettas with their waltz tradition. Director and lyricist Peter Lund gives new impetus to the bittersweet love story set on the brink of war catastrophe.

Countess Stasi and the prince's son Edwin Lippert-Weylersheim are destined for each other - at least that's how his parents see it. They didn't reckon with the chansonette Sylva Varescu, with whom Edwin fell passionately in love at the Budapest Orpheum and promised to marry her. Sylva appears incognito at the engagement party, as the alleged wife of Count Boni, who in turn falls in love with the Stasi at first sight. This caused a lot of confusion, as did the disclosure of a well-kept secret of the lady of the house: Did Princess Anhilte also have a previous life as a chansonette.
