Imre Kálmán
Countess Maritza
The premiere
She – the Countess, surrounded by a bunch of admirers, and yet lonely. He – an impoverished count, pretending to be a bailiff, looking for a job. The story of a great love and aristocrats' disguises, where the last word belongs to the rich aunt, who rescues the lovers from a love disaster and... financial ruin. The creators of Szczecin's Countess Maritza took a fresh look on the classical operetta, filling it with grotesque and surrealism, going into areas of fantasy and dreams.
