Wonderful Town: Volksoper Wien

About the Event

Leonard Bernstein composed the musical in 1953 as an exhilarated homage to New York. The turbulent Greenwich Village has repeatedly served as inspiration for this musical genius.

Two sisters from Ohio try to find their way in the turbulent life of the 'Big Apple'. The younger one, Eileen, is busy getting rid of admirers, while the brittle Ruth unsuccessfully tries to put her literary works in a magazine. The European premiere of the play took place in 1956 at the Volksoper. Now — 100 years after the birth of Leonard Bernstein — it presents a new production.
