Baroness Lili

Approved

The author of the operetta is the venerable Hungarian composer Enyo Huska (1875-1960). Baroness Lily (1919) is the most famous of his 15 operettas. Melodic, graceful in rhythm, lovely music and laconic, full of subtle humor libretto of the operetta made it extremely popular.

Among the composer's fifteen works, "Baroness Lily" is the most famous and popular in Hungary. It uses a very traditional spectacular and unsophisticated operetta plot.

After the death of his ruined father, his son Count Laszlo, an aspiring playwright, sells the family castle. This dilapidated relic is bought by a former shopkeeper, Baron Malomsegi. He dreams of seeing his daughter Lily as a countess and wants to marry her to the count who sold the castle. Quite by accident, he takes Laszlo for a valet, and out of curiosity, he later “plays along” with him, following all the orders of the new tenants. At first, Laszlo perceives this comic situation as a plot for his new operetta. However, in the Malomsega family, he finds his love - Lily. The girl made friends with the "valet" and entrusted him with her secret. She asks Laszlo to help her escape from the castle in order to save herself from being married to a man she doesn't know or love. She is not at all attracted to the title of a count, much less attracted to a marriage of convenience. A lively and lively girl dreams of becoming an actress. Laszlo promises to be Lily's faithful ally. This is how their love story begins. In the end, this eternal feeling wins over ridiculous conventions and artificially erected obstacles.
