The most beautiful day in the life of Dr. Ulrich Hansen and his fiancée Regine are in danger of becoming a real catastrophe. The groom is late, instead his ex-wife, the spirited dancer Dona Dolores, known as Dodo, shows up to break the wedding. Regine's uncle Felix barely manages to lock the vengeful prima donna in the wine cellar, just in time for the groom to arrive. When Ulrich appears - in tailcoat and top hat and at the last minute - the bride and groom can finally say yes. The real turmoil begins with the onset of the wedding night: Uncle Felix has fallen in love with the scratchy Dodo and wants to ask her impresario Dajos Lajos Földesy to mediate. During a conspiratorial conversation in Regine's room, the impresario loses Dodo's cigarette case. When Regine found it a little later, the case was clear to her: her new husband cheated on her! Ulrich is therefore relocated without further ado and has to take a room in the “Hotel Paradies”, where the rest of the wedding party is still celebrating lively. After Ulrich has emptied a bottle of cognac with the hotel porter, he ends up tipsy in the wrong hotel room. There he gives rise to the next scene of jealousy and finally throws the wedding celebrations into chaos. Will the couples find their way back together on the subsequent honeymoon in Venice?

“Wedding Night in Paradise” premiered in 1942 at the Berlin Metropolitan Theater, directed by Heinz Hentschke, the most important operetta theater in the Nazi state. In post-war Germany, the film adaptations with Johannes Heesters or Peter Alexander with evergreens such as “It's lucky that you can fall in love” or “It depends on the second” provided the best entertainment. The TdA brings "Wedding Night in Paradise" to the stage in cooperation with the Central German Chamber Philharmonic Schönebeck.
