Operetta "Wiener Blut"

What's it about?

Wiener Blut – that's Viennese charm, a rush of melodies, and a pinch of amorous turbulence in three acts! Presented as a "comic operetta," this musical gem showcases the unmistakable style of the Waltz King Johann Strauss (Jr.), artfully assembled by the shrewd Kapellmeister Adolf Müller Junior. The libretto was penned by Victor Léon and Leo Stein.Although the aging Strauss was no longer healthy enough to compose a new stage work, after some urging he was convinced: Müller Jr. wove together over 30 of the master's works – including immortal waltzes like "Wiener Blut" and "Morgenblätter," as well as the polka schnell "Leichtes Blut" – into a delightful potpourri of joie de vivre.The plot? Just as it should be: a fireworks display of emotions revolving around the charming Count Zedlau, who, at the time of the Congress of Vienna, becomes entangled in a web of mistaken identities and affairs. But don't worry – as befits an operetta, a happy ending awaits, with couples reuniting and hearts beating in three-quarter time.After a rather reserved premiere in 1899, "Wiener Blut" developed into a real crowd-puller after its revision in 1905 – a worldwide triumph that continues to this day. And now, finally, we can welcome the celebrated maestro of Viennese waltz bliss to Schloss Tabor – a musical delight that no one should miss!Tickets
