Description: An operetta about love, longing — and what lies between worlds. With DAS LAND DES LÄCHELNS, Franz Lehár created a work that is among the most moving operettas of all time. It tells of the great love between Lisa, a young woman from Vienna, and Prince Sou-Chong, an East Asian diplomat — two people willing to risk everything, yet failing because of the differences of their worlds. From Lisa's dream of a shared life, a journey into a foreign culture begins, which both fascinates and overwhelms her. At the prince's court, different rules apply: showing feelings is forbidden — 'only smile' is the command. What remains is the memory of a love stronger than reason and convention. Lehár's music makes this story shine in all its colors: from exuberant romance to quiet melancholy. 'Your is my whole heart' — the legendary 'Tauber song,' composed specifically for the famous tenor Richard Tauber, became a worldwide hit at its premiere and remains one of the most well-known songs in operetta history. With evergreen melodies like 'Always just smile,' 'Tea for two,' or 'Who has sown love into our hearts,' he created immortal tunes that still touch today. Bühne Baden, one of Austria's leading operetta houses, dedicates itself to this masterpiece with the passion that keeps the genre so alive: great music, deep emotion, and stories that hit straight in the heart.
