Music by Emmerich Kálmán Libretto by Julius Brammer and Alfred Grünwald

When the beguiling young Countess Maritza invents a fiancé in order to keep her hordes of admirers at bay, it's inevitable that she will find true love by the end of the story.

With plenty of plot twists and fireworks, a happy ending, and scrumptious music from the heyday of Viennese operetta, this romantic comedy is sophisticated, nostalgic, and unabashedly entertaining – a joyous reminder that not all opera is "a song of love and death."
