The Count of Luxembourg

О событии

The Volksoper Wien presents Franz Lehars great operetta "Der Graf von Luxemburg" in this season.   The bohemian René Graf, known as the "Count of Luxembourg", is persuaded by a rich Russian trade delegate, Basil Basilowitsch, to enter into a fake marriage in exchange for a lot of money.   Basilowitsch loves the talented Angèle Didier; a singer in the Apollo Theatre. Despite being a married man, Basilowitsch longs to have a countess as a lover. Therefore he arranges for Angèle to become a countess through her marriage to the Count. The marriage takes place, however, René Graf — contrary to the agreement he has made — does not want to release the lovely Angèle.  This colourful comic work at the Volksoper in Vienna is sure to please.
