Im weißen Rössl

In the organizer's words:

from 12 years

Vacation at last: check into a nice hotel and unwind - preferably with a view of the water. But no: at the hotel "Zum weißen Rössl" on Lake Wolfgangsee, things go haywire. Goodbye relaxation! Because the hotel is completely overrun, work is constantly mixed with private life, and both the staff and the guests are wildly in love, which always ends in chaos due to games of mistaken identity and secrecy. However, after dismissals and tears, a few things do get sorted out - both professionally and privately. The next vacation is sure to come!

The cult operetta with music by Ralph Benatzky from 1930 still thrills audiences today with songs such as "Im weißen Rössl am Wolfgangsee" or "Es muss was Wunderbares sein" (to be loved by you!). In addition to songs by Benatzky, dramaturge Hans Müller and director Erik Charell added jazzy fashionable dances and other songs, such as Robert Stolz's "What can Sigismund do that he is so beautiful?". Fortunately, even the ban under National Socialism did nothing to diminish the charm and wit of the play: Above all, the 1960 film adaptation with Waltraut Haas and Peter Alexander gave the "Rössl" a new lease of life.
