Main informations

The most famous operetta filmed at the Wiener Staatsoper which programs  the legendary production of Otto Schenk yearly since 1972. Mistaken identities, flirtations at a masked ball, elegant frivolities and confusions of all kinds provide a hilarious vehicle for some of the most captivating music ever written.
