Short description of the operettas in year 2022
WIENER BLUT by Johann Strauss
Premiere July 2022
Immortal evergreens, lively melodies, passion, charm and lots of humor - these are the ingredients of one of the most famous works in operetta history. Immerse yourself in the confusion of Count Zedlau's love life, laugh with Kagler, the owner of the Ringelspiel, amuse yourself with the tubular relationship between the valet Josef and his Pepi - experience the finest operetta with Viennese blood by Johann Strauss.
Thomas Enzinger will re-stage this classic with a star cast, of course the Franz Lehár Orchestra will play as always.
MRS LUNA by Paul Lincke
Premiere July 2022
"That's the Berlin air" is just one of the indestructible world hits of this revue operetta with cult status. Also hits like "Oh Theophil", "Give me just a little bit of love" or "Castles that lie in the moon" are well known. Ms. Luna is one of the funniest and most charming works of the operetta genre and contains all the ingredients of a great revue:
Famous hits, great dance scenes, humor and passion.
Steppke dreams of being the first person to land "on the moon" and is working with his comrades Lämmermeier and Pannecke on a stratospheric express balloon that actually flies into the Berlin sky one night with all kinds of passengers on board. But the man in the moon turns out to be Mrs. Luna, who takes a liking to Fritz Steppke, much to the chagrin of Prince Shooting Star, who so far has been campaigning for the moon goddess in vain. The Earthlings thus cause plenty of confusion and turbulence among the lunar inhabitants.
You can expect a firework of stage art with many audience favorites. Fly straight to the moon with Ms. Luna at the Lehár Festival Bad Ischl!
WIENER FRAUEN by Franz Lehár
Premiere August 2022
As usual, the Lehár Festival Bad Ischl will present a special rarity in 2022. WIENER FRAUEN is Lehár's first ever operetta, along with "Dem Rastelbinder". The famous Alexander Girardi played the title role at the premiere at the Theater an der Wien.
Wiener Frauen - a fast-paced comedy about the piano teacher Willibald, his lover Claire and their lover Philip. His ingenious handwriting is already unmistakable in this early work by Lehár. Wiener Frauen is an operetta full of humor, passion and temperament
The Lehár Festival Bad Ischl brings the unique production to the stage semi-staged, with a large orchestra and with a star cast in 2022!
