The songstress known as the "Princess of the Csárdás" and a young Austrian aristocrat.
The twists and turns of two lovers from different stations in life play out in Vienna and Budapest.
Conducted by "the king of the operetta," Rudolf Bibl, artful singers perform an abundance of csárdáses and waltzes, singing, dancing, and enchanting!

Today, the marriage between a young Viennese aristocrat and a famous songstress from Budapest would be a celebrity marriage at the center of the public eye, but things were very different on the eve of World War I. Upon learning--despite having gone so far as to sign marriage documents with the man--that her lover Edwin has a fiancée, Sylva is left hopeless against the dominating forces of society and departs for a location far away. Sylva is the one who lives a life of purity and love. Edwin, seeing Sylva before him in the guise of a "countess," has the temerity to say that there would be no problem in him marrying a divorced noblewoman--as opposed to a gypsy--enraging Sylva. The woman declares that she will return to being the princess of the csárdás. Though they love one another, they come from different worlds. The tangled threads of the couple's emotions are tamed through a startling development: It is discovered that Edwin's mother was a legendary songstress. There awaits a happy ending in which everyone beams in delight.

In addition to the exotic rhythm of the Hungarian folk music, the csárdás and the enchanting tones of the Viennese waltz, the expert dancing of the accomplished Volksoper singers is not to be missed. You will be intoxicated by the conducting of the maestro Rudolf Bibl--known as "the king of the operetta." Just a month after the centennial of the piece's premiere, in December 2015, a whole new version of Die Csárdásfürstin will appear on stage.
