  • Prince Edwin falls in love with the cabaret star Sylva Varescu, an attachment much frowned upon by Edwin’s noble family. Edwin’s parents hastily arrange a marriage between him and his distant cousin, the Countess Anastasia, who soon falls in love with Edwin’s friend Boni. This wonderful evocation of Viennese caf� society, with its swirling waltz melodies and fiery Hungarian dances, elevated Emmerich Kálmán to the ranks of the greatest operetta composers.

"…a totally enjoyable mixture of nostalgia and exuberance… eye-catching sets and sumptuous costumes… a radiant show." The Sydney Morning Herald
"In the title role lyric soprano Deborah Riedel sang magnificently…"The Australian
