When the curtain rose for the first time on November 17, 1915 in the Johann Strauss Theater in Vienna for the operetta “Die Csárdásfürstin”, the audience witnessed the birth of a global success. Kálmán's music shows an enormous wealth.
He skillfully combines the melancholy of the Hungarian csárdás with the elegance of the Viennese waltz and new elements from the world of popular music. Melodies like “Chose doesn't work without women”, “Do you remember?”, “The girls from the Chantant”, “Let's do it after the swallows” or “Jai Mamam Bruderherz” went around the world after the premiere and became to real catchy tunes.

It is an opportunity to bring operettas to the stage in a socially relevant way, of course with all the charm and humor that the genre deserves and thus to lead them to their actual task, namely to act as a mirror of our society with all the laughter and indulgence ...
