Preceded by introduction and interviews conducted by Barbara Rett.

A disguised freedom fighter, his uncle with a questionable Bluebeard complex, who is already planning his sixth wedding with a naturally (!) younger woman, a highly creative, strong-willed neighbor, also known and feared as the "wildcat", and meet a party-​loving company in this witty, cheeky operetta of Joseph Beer's trials and tribulations to celebrate the wedding of the year, maybe of the century: the silver is cleaned, the wardrobe is dusted, the feast of vanities and delicacies can begin! Joseph Beer's music dances between operetta and musical, between jazz, klezmer and waltz - highest drama paired with touching sentimentality when it says: "Heart to heart, hand in hand, the world becomes a fairyland". The acclaimed premiere took place in Zurich in 1937, from where the operetta began its triumphal march over around forty stages. The meteoric rise of the compositional prodigy came to an end when Austria joined Nazi Germany in 1938 and Beer had to flee to France. The planned Austrian premiere with Richard Tauber in Vienna was prevented by the National Socialists and Joseph Beer fell into oblivion. In a production by Sebastian Ritschel, this firework of operetta will make the Graz opera stage sparkle for the first time.
