Gipsy Baron and Wiener Schnitzel. Operaguide for Johann Strauss’s Operette.

Leonore & Fidelio

This is the very first time soprano Eleonore Marguerre presents her operaguide in English as well - one of the big success operettes by Waltz king Johann Strauss. The gipsy baron had his premiere in 1885 at Theater an der Wien and you probably recognize some of his melodies. The story takes place in Hungary around 1750, when the heir Sandor Barinkay returns to his mansion, where now gipsys live. There is supposed to be treasure and a love story as well.. Will he embrace Arsena, the pig farmer Zsupan’s daughter, or Saffi the gipsy girl? Eleonore Marguerre stars as the gipsy Saffi from Dec 15th 2017 - Jan 6th 2018 at Grand Theatre Geneva, Switzerland. And you can also tune on in the radio on Dec 31rst 2017 at Radio Espace 2 live
