Approved

From September 22, 2021 at the State Theater in Košice. The creator of the greatest operetta constants Čárdášová princezná and Grófka Marica, reached the peak of his success after a musically and dramaturgically unconventional work. The Charleston and the slowfox compete here with the Viennese waltz and the Hungarian czardas, just as characters from Old Europe compete with characters from the New World. Although Kálmán had not been in America until then, his composition is masterful and reflects the joie de vivre and the opposites of the social and political situation in the interwar period. Many of these topics are relevant and alive again today. Interpretatively, the ŠDKE opera builds on the rich experience of the Košice Opera Ensemble with operetta and specifically with Kálmán's music. The production represents another collaboration of all ŠDKE troupes – opera, drama and ballet.

Emmerich Kálmán: VOJVODKYŇA Z CHICAGA - pozvánka

Tvorca najväčších operetných stálic Čárdášová princezná a Grófka Marica, siahol na vrchole svojich úspechov po hudobne a dramaturgicky netradičnom diele. Charleston a slowfox tu súťažia s viedenským valčíkom a maďarským čardášom, tak ako postavy starej Európy s postavami z Nového sveta.

Hoci Kálmán dovtedy nebol v Amerike, je jeho kompozícia majstrovská a odráža joie de vivre i protiklady vtedajšej spoločenskej a politickej situácie v medzivojnovom období. Mnohé z týchto tém sú dnes znova aktuálne a živé. Interpretačne nadviaže opera ŠDKE na bohatú skúsenosť košického operného súboru s operetou i konkrétne s Kálmánovou hudbou.

Produkcia predstavuje ďalšiu spoluprácu všetkých súborov ŠDKE – opery, činohry aj baletu.

At the peak of his success, the author of the greatest operetta favourites Die Csárdásfürstin and Gräfin Mariza set to work on musically and dramaturgically unconventional piece. We see Charleston and Slowfox competing with Vienna Waltz and Hungarian Czardas, just like characters from old Europe compete with the characters from the new world.

Though Kálmán has never been to America by then, his composition is a masterpiece and reflects joie de vivre and contrasts of then social and political situation in the interwar period. Many of the themes are up-to-date again and still live topics. The Opera Ensemble of ŠDKE has an extensive experience with operetta and particularly Kálmán’s music.

The production team brings another cooperation of all the ŠDKE’s ensembles – opera, drama, and ballet.
