Approved

From September 22, 2021 in the Košice State Theater. 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 again relevant and alive 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. More about the show:http://www.sdke.sk/sk/opera/emmerich-...

English

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.
