A woman who knows what she wants
Why shouldn’t a woman have an affair”, the Jewish-Austrian composer Oscar Straus has his “Frau, die weiß, was sie will!” sing, thus not only composing a masterpiece that epitomises the operetta style of the Weimar Republic, but also reflects the new image of women at the time – lascivious, fresh and cheeky. A furious guest performance by the Komische Oper Berlin.
operetta by Oscar Straus, directed by Barrie Kosky
→ Congress and Theatre House (online advance booking)
