DESCRIPTION

The Hans Wolf Memorial Operetta Series will continue this winter with our presentation of Emmerich Kalman’s The Gypsy Princess. The production will be presented at Seattle’s Town Hall, located at 8th and Seneca. Performances are February 29 and March 1 at 7:30 PM and March 2 at 2:00 PM.

Sylva Varescu, a famous Hungarian cabaret singer, is about to leave Budapest for an American tour. She is in love with the Viennese Prince Edwin, but alas! sometimes love is complicated by different social positions (ask Sir Gilbert). Prince Edwin’s parents have arranged a marriage with a more suitable candidate, his cousin Stasi. At this point the story gets complicated, as the lovers try to figure out how to resolve this dilemma. First Edwin returns to Vienna, thinking Sylva will not marry him, because of his parent’s marriage scheme. But Sylva has her own plans and won’t give up with out a fight. She and her friend (and manager) Count Boni show up at Prince Edwin’s home in Vienna for the engagement party-- announcing that they themselves just got married! (Not really, just a ruse to make Edwin jealous). Count Boni isn't enjoying his role in the farce, and complicates things further by falling for Stasi. All seems helplessly lost until Boni and his friend Feri come up with a solution that untangles this complicated plot.

Kalman borrows heavily from the folk music of his native Hungary. With lush, romantic music, the operetta provides dramatic moments with Edwin and Sylva, along with comic relief from Boni and Feri. Kalman, a contemporary of Lehar, lived in Vienna and composed a number of operettas in the early 20th century. The Gypsy Princess and Countess Maritza are still performed regularly at the Volksoper in Vienna. Our production will have beautiful cabaret girls, along with elegant Viennese gentlemen, costumed by Carl Bronsdon. Chris Nardine will be the stage director, and Nathan Rodda will be the set designer. Glenda Williams is our music director.
