"Uniformis amor" – that's what people call a particularly strong preference for uniforms and their content. If a reigning head of state is affected by it, things can quickly become explosive: Within a few moments, a private becomes the commanding general, courtiers tremble for their influence, and wars are instigated at whim. But woe betide if the object of state-directing desire pursues completely different plans...!

At the peak of his career, Jacques Offenbach succeeded in producing no less than a brightly colored satire on militarism, favoritism, small states and provincialism with the operetta »The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein«, which he presented in 1867 as a kind of »cultural contribution« to the Paris World Exhibition. Using the example of a fictitious Grand Duchy, he and his librettists created a dazzling stage work including some of his most beautiful melodies, which is still more relevant today than ever in view of warmongering and abuse of power. After its acclaimed premiere in 2020 at the Dresden Semperoper, Josef E. Köpplinger's pointed production is now coming to Munich!
