"Victoria and Her Hussar", an operetta in three acts by Paul Abraham, with a libretto by Alfred Grünwald and Fritz Löhner-Beda, retells the love story between the beautiful Victoria and the hussar Koltay. The performance highlights the dramas of World War I, with intrigues and idylls, all set in the early 20th-century art-deco style.
The subject of the operetta and the idyll of the two carry us, in turn, from the sunny landscape of Japan to picturesque St. Petersburg, and then to a small town in Hungary. World War I and the years that followed put their love to great tests.
Victoria, believing her lover dead in the war, marries a distinguished American diplomat, John Cunlight. However, life brings Victoria face to face with Koltay, her first love…
"The audience will enjoy a beautiful show, both for the eyes and the ears, with music by Paul Abraham, which gives the show a different acoustic color. It is a balance between comedy, drama, dance, music, and theater, which will induce a state of well-being. Furthermore, the play takes us through three different geographical areas, each with a different theme, visible both in terms of sets, as well as music and the relationship between characters" – Cătălin Voineag – the director of the show.
