Send for Mr Plim by Spoliansky, E 24 mai 2021, Alates (2021/2022), Juhatatud Annika Nitsch, Dirigent Gabor Hontvári, Theaterfabrik Blaue Halle, Würzburg, Germany

The duo Mischa Spoliansky and Marcellus Schiffer, who were extremely successful on the Berlin entertainment scene in the 1920s, created a loving and fast-paced parody of the colorful world of department stores that were springing up everywhere at the time with the cabaret opera "Rufen Sie Herr Plim!" in 1932. The conflict between the management and King Customer, which is as funny as it is biting, aims both at the new social equal treatment of all department store guests and at the real service regulations of the once famous Wertheim department store. Musically, "Herr Plim" oscillates between opera and operetta, musical, revue and hits in an equally bold and sophisticated way and moves in the wake of the same bitingly ironic aesthetics of that time, for which names such as Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht, Paul Hindemith or the Frenchman Darius Milhaud with his short operas.
