Der Zigeunerbaron

Overview

The operetta is one of the greatest stage works by Johann Strauss. It combines the lively waltz melodies of the golden Viennese operetta era with the fiery Csárdás sounds of Hungarian folk music. In 1954, Arthur Rabenalt filmed the operetta with Paul Hörbiger and Margit Saad in the main roles: A small village in the Puszt. A young refugee son advertises the hand of his daughter at his neighbour, a pig breeder, and even fulfils the demand for a noble title, as the gypsies living on his property have raised him to a gypsy baron. But then he falls in love with a young gypsy.
