Approved

Countess Marica is one of the most played and popular operettas.
The story takes place in the idyllic residence of a Balkan empire, where the cardas is sung and danced. The impoverished nobleman Tasillo is employed as the administrator of the wealthy Countess Marice. She doesn't know her rural employee at all. However, when he suddenly visits his estate, where he wants to escape from the crowds of suitors for a while, a fateful meeting takes place. It seems that after the initial flirtation, nothing will stand in the way of their love for the "extraordinary" administrator and the rich countess, if ... if there was no complication ... There can be no doubt that everything will turn out well. We are talking about one of Kálmán's most popular operettas. Attractive dance melodies and rhythms, songs "Varaždín is waiting for us, Play Gypsy" and more, that's Countess Marica.

English

Dej sa odohráva v idylickej rezidencii jednej balkánskej ríše, kde sa spieva a tancuje čardáš. Schudobnený šľachtic Tasillo je zamestnaný ako správca statku bohatej grófky Marice. Tá svojho vidieckeho zamestnanca vôbec nepozná. Keď však znenazdajky navštívi svoje panstvo, kde chce na chvíľu uniknúť pred zástupmi nápadníkov, dôjde k osudovému stretnutiu. Zdá sa, že po počiatočnom flirtovaní nebude „neobyčajnému“ správcovi a bohatej grófke nič stáť v ceste ich lásky, keby..., keby nenastala komplikácia... O tom, že sa všetko na dobré obráti, nemôže byť pochýb. Veď hovoríme o jednej z najpopulárnejších Kálmánových operiet. Príťažlivé tanečné melódie a rytmy, piesne „Nás čaká Varaždín, Hraj Cigán“ a ďalšie, to je Grófka Marica.
