Sparkling melodies, wit, esprit, bite, erotic allusions and a lot of Parisian charm meet in the "Grand Duchess of Gerolstein" and take us into the world of Offenbach and his muse Hortense Schneider, who embodied, formed and shaped the great parts of his operettas like no other inspired. The boundaries between the operetta stage and Parisian life blur every day: what the diva wears on stage today will be bought in the boutique tomorrow! Her private love life fills the gossip columns of the newspapers, and when the diva quite naturally held court at the Paris World Exhibition of 1867 in the costume of the Grand Duchess of Gerolstein, Europe's potentates paid homage to her in gala uniform. As Offenbach's librettist Henri Meilhac puts it, her smile leaves “everything open if it means 'yes'; and even if it sounds like 'no', it gives hope.” Jacques Offenbach once again memorialized her with the “Grand Duchess of Gerolstein” and summoned everything: idiosyncratic Gerolstein monarch with last-minute panic, amateurish murder plot, incompetent army of soldiers with numerous, colorful medals , male sword discussions and again and again in different pitches shimmering diva fits. Peter Lund, who has already staged “The Circus Princess” and “Martha” successfully at the Graz Opera, resurrects the world of Offenbach, his Hortense and that of Gerolstein in a new and brilliant way. incompetent army of soldiers with numerous, colorful medals, male sword discussions and again and again in different pitches dazzling diva fits.
