In love with the alpine magic: Princess and Prince defy fate!

In the middle of the shimmering Alps, a contemporary fairy tale unfolds that touches the hearts. This exciting adaptation by Franz Lehar's work relies on glamor and musicality, as reported by orf.at . A princess and a prince who is originally supposed to be married for power reasons meet under unexpected circumstances and discover their love - but without knowing who the other is really. The talented Sieglinde Feldhofer and the charming Corinna Koller shine in the role of Princess Elisabeth, while Richard Samek celebrates his debut at the Graz opera as Crown Prince Georg.

The director Florian Kutej moved the plot to a luxurious hotel in the Kitzbüheler Alpen, where the rich and beautiful linger. Sparkling costumes by Daria Kornysheva and an imaginatively designed stage design contribute to the magical presentation. Especially the second act, which is considered the "Tristan and Isolde" of the operetta world, fascinates with a 40-minute mountain hike by the two protagonists. Dramatic twists, such as a sudden avalanche, give the story additional tension and make it an unforgettable experience.

The magic of the fairy tales

Not only enchants the operetta on royal romance, the classic fairy tales with princesses also have their own special charm. In a list, which was put together by Stichten-haus.com , there are many stories that tell of the challenges and adventures of princesses.

Whether on stage or in traditional stories, the adventures of princesses and prince always give us an insight into the deep desires and dreams of man.
