Märchen im Grand Hotel

Paul Abraham's fairy tale, premiered in 1934 at the Grand Hôtel, is teeming with operetta-style clichés: class differences here, last-minute resolutions of major misunderstandings there, garnished with dazzling music that not only evokes the operetta bliss of the "Silver Era" but also conjures virtuoso modern dances like foxtrot and tango, or even new jazz sounds, onto the stage.
