Vorhang auf für: Dagmar Manzel und Max Hopp! Sie spielt: Manon Cavallini, Operettendiva, Raoul Severac, deren Verehrer, und den Vater von Lucy, ihrer Tochter...

Curtain up for: Dagmar Manzel and Max Hopp! She plays: Manon Cavallini, operetta diva, Raoul Severac, her admirer, and Lucy's father, her daughter - he plays: that same Lucy as well as all five of Cavallini's lovers and Lucy's family friend on top of that! In other roles: Dagmar Manzel and Max Hopp! 20 characters - 2 actors, a breathless tour de force, in which the orchestra under Adam Benzwi really heats up with a firework of marches, waltzes and chansons penned by Oscar Straus.

Glamor queen Manon Cavallini is an operetta diva adored by all men. Raoul Severac has also succumbed to her - much to the displeasure of young Lucy, who is head over heels in love with the handsome bachelor. She therefore asks the stage star to give up Raoul and leave him to her. What she doesn't know: Manon is her mother...

With A woman who knows what she wantsthe Jewish-Austrian composer Oscar Straus, one of the most successful operetta composers of the 1920s and 30s, created a masterpiece that embodies the operetta style of the Weimar Republic with its wild mixture of waltz and foxtrot and with hits like "Why should a woman have no relationship" and "Every woman has some kind of longing" boldly and freshly overthrows previous role clichés.
