Jenő Huszka, the excellent operetta composer, was born on April 24, 1875 in Szeged. He came into the public eye as a child prodigy at the age of five, when he played the violin at a concert organized for the benefit of flood victims in Szeged. At the age of eleven, he became a student of the violin department of the Szeged Music School. After graduation, he went to Pest as a law student, but in the meantime he also enrolled at the Academy of Music. He graduated in 1896 with both his law and music studies. His most popular works: Prince Bob, Baba Gül, Baroness Lili.
The title character of Jenő Huszka's operetta was a real person. The story begins in Vienna in 1848. Despite the girl's protests, Mária Simonich's relatives are preparing to marry her off to an Austrian aristocrat. Mária escapes to Hungary, which is burning in the heat of the revolution, and dons a National Guard uniform. In 1849, he also served in the army as a man, under the name Károly Lebstück. It takes him to the rank of first lieutenant, while his fate reaches him: love. She falls in love with the strict lieutenant Jancsó, who reprimands her several times for her reckless heroism. When Mária reappears as a woman on the occasion of a party, the lieutenant also falls in love with her.
