Premiered on 17th November 1915 in Vienna.

Emmerich Kálmán first thought of an operetta about a cabaret star Silva Varescu in the beginning of 1914. In April he had already concluded an agreement between librettists Leo Stein and Bela Jenbach. The German libretto was entitled Vive l’Amour!

The plot of this new work somewhat resembles Verdi’s famous opera: the main character is the type of woman a noble man should never marry and bring into a polite society. However, according to the canons of this light, entertaining genre the piece needed to end happily.

The composer and the librettists were interrupted in their work by historic events developing around them: in June 1914 Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, heir presumptive to the Austro-Hungarian throne was assassinated in Sarajevo. The Austrian-Serbian war that followed grew into the World War soon after. The operetta was finished by November 1915, and premiered on 17th November at the Johann Strauss theatre in Vienna. Csárdás tunes are widely present in the score of this operetta, which was entitled Csárdásfürstin. It is a very popular Hungarian dance with an emotional start and rampant, furious ending.

Silva Varescu is a cabaret star in Budapest, whose fiery personality makes men’s hearts go wild. Edwin is a young noble man of aristocratic origin, son to a rightful prince. They are separated by an unbridgeable social abyss, which leads to alienation and disdain. But love overcomes all boundaries! The blazing feelings of Sylva tell us a story about a woman fighting for her right to be happy.
