The first football operetta
At the beginning of the 1930s, Paul Abraham was the new star in the Berlin operetta sky. In addition to Benatzky's sensational success "Im Weissen Rössl" (1930), it was above all Abraham's revue operettas "Viktoria and her Hussar" (1930), "Blume von Hawaii" (1931) and "Ball im Savoy" (1932) that made Berlin from unprecedented world successes. With the seizure of power by the National Socialists, the flight of the young Jewish world star changed overnight. He fled to the United States via his Hungarian homeland, where he was observed in 1946 directing traffic in a mentally disturbed state.
Abraham's football operetta "Roxy and her miracle team" appeared as his last major work and is part of a whole series of sports operettas that were created under the impression of the Berlin Olympics. These include Fred Raymond's "Lauf ins Glück" (1934) or "Ball der Nations" (1935), but also Paul Burkhard's bowling operetta "Match und Meitschi" (première December 27, 1936 at the Stadttheater Bern).
In the Hungarian original version entitled "3:1 a szerelem javára" (3:1 for love) from December 18, 1936, it was initially about the Hungarian national water polo team. Since football was better played than water polo in Austria in 1937, the sport was changed without further ado for the Vienna premiere (March 25, 1937, Theater an der Wien). In 1937, "Roxy and her miracle team" was filmed as the first football operetta.

Since the rediscovery of the original score, which was thought lost, «Roxy and her miracle team» has taken the stages by storm. The premiere in Germany took place in 2014 at the Dortmund Opera. The Komische Oper Berlin took on her in 2019. In autumn 2021 she will return to Austria's stages at the Volksoper in Vienna. We are bringing the Swiss premiere to Burgäschisee in June 2022.
