Operette: Gräfin Mariza
New premier of Countess Mariza, Kálmán's musical fireworks in Austrian-Hungarian colors!
The operetta "Countess Mariza" (premiere 1924) takes place on a Hungarian estate and tells a romantic-comic story of mistaken identity. The wealthy Countess Mariza invents a fictional fiancé named "Baron Koloman Zsupán" to get rid of pesky suitors. However, a man with exactly that name surprisingly shows up.
Operetta in 3 acts by Emmerich Kálmán
Meanwhile, the impoverished Count Tassilo is working on the estate, disguising himself under a false name as a manager to earn money for his sister's dowry. Initially, there is conflict between Mariza and Tassilo, but gradually they fall in love with each other.
When Mariza discovers that Tassilo is actually a count and has hidden his true identity out of pride, misunderstandings arise. In the end, however, all complications are resolved: Mariza recognizes Tassilo's honesty and love, and the two come together.
