Emmerich Kálmán: Countess Maritza (Budapest Operetta Theater)

Tell Them That I Love the Women of Pest (Mondd meg, hogy imádom a pesti nőket)- a beautiful song, wonderful melodies, spectacular dances in an original Hungarian operetta festival. One of Emmerich Kálmán's most beloved operettas guarantees high-quality entertainment on every level. On one hand, the intricate story is reminiscent of Shakespeare with its unexpected twists, following the young lovers’ struggle in a web of lies they created themselves. On the other, it is a romantic, stormy and musically-rich piece with energetic dance scenes. Who could better direct this lively piece than the Kossuth Prize-winning choreographer, Bozsik Yvette? With an impressive stage design and refined, authentic costumes, the production creates the fabulous atmosphere that the piece deserves.
