Le monde est beau by Lehár, Du (2023/2023), Dirigé par Holger Potocki, Chef d'orchestre Harutyun Muradyan, Großes Haus Halberstadt, Halberstadt, Allemagne

Originally composed for Richard Tauber and, as a true rarity, unfortunately all too rarely seen on stage, this story, which is finely peppered with attractive musical motifs and large scenes, is one of the most valuable and original works by Franz Lehár. The dramatic situation of the second act, which is unusual if not unique in an operetta, shows the protagonist couple completely alone on the stage, happy and threatened by the elemental nature around them, overwhelmed by their feelings for each other - a kind of "Tristan and Isolde" with a happy ending. The hearts beat here much more intensely than just in three-four time.
