The regent of the fictitious dwarf state of Gerolstein is not that young anymore – she has been 36 for 20 years. Even if she has been very adept at closing her heart to courting any potential marriage candidate, she still has an almost lustful interest in Men, especially young men in smart uniforms, cannot be denied. Before he knows it, the simple soldier Fritz becomes the plaything of their whims. But as quickly as his rise to the rank of general, vain resentment overtakes him. Offenbach's cheeky satire on small states, militarism and worn-out court clergy is a capricious reckoning with the arbitrariness of the powerful against the powerless, which has lost none of its momentum and wit to this day.

La Grande-Duchesse de Gérolstein, Offenbach
