Music by Franz Schubert: Adapted by Heinrich Berté and C.H. Clutsam, Lyrics by Adrian Ross
SYNOPSIS AND CAST
Old Vienna – and the shy, young composer, Franz Schubert, writes a beautiful love song to his beloved Mitzi. But he gets his best friend Baron Schober to sing it to her, and she falls in love with him instead of poor Franz, who has to find consolation in their happiness – and in his music. Delightful sub-plots concern Mitzi’s two attractive sisters and their boyfriends, a temperamental prima-donna and a jealous Count. Famed and loved all over the world for more than half a century, this is a charming show with excellent comedy – and immortal music.
