Im weißen Rössl

Music: Ralph Benatzky
Libretto: Hans Müller and Erik Charell
Lyrics: Robert Gilbert
Additional Musical Numbers: Robert Stolz, Bruno Granichstaedten, and Robert Gilbert
Genre: Singspiel / Operetta

Im weißen Rössl (The White Horse Inn) is a delightful musical comedy about love, misunderstandings, and the joy of life, set against the breathtaking scenery of Austria's Wolfgangsee.

At the famous White Horse Inn, the devoted head waiter Leopold is hopelessly in love with the innkeeper, Josepha Vogelhuber. However, Josepha is more interested in the charming lawyer Dr. Siedler, while several other guests arrive at the inn with their own romantic hopes, family disputes, and unexpected surprises.

As holiday adventures unfold, mistaken identities, humorous misunderstandings, and romantic entanglements create a lively series of comic situations. Gradually, hidden feelings are revealed, old conflicts are resolved, and each couple discovers that true happiness often appears where it is least expected.

In the end, love triumphs over pride and confusion, and the White Horse Inn becomes the setting for joyful reunions, laughter, and celebration.

Essence - Das Wesentliche

Venue

The Volksoper Wien, or Vienna People's Opera, is one of Vienna's major opera houses. It's located in the 9th district and is renowned for its diverse programming that includes operas, operettas, musicals, and ballets. Founded in 1898 originally as a straightforward theatre, it has developed into a globally recognized venue for accessible performances of a wide range of musical theater genres.

The Volksoper is Vienna's leading house for operetta, the lighter, more accessible cousin of opera, often involving spoken dialogue alongside music. It serves as a complement to the more formal Wiener Staatsoper, offering performances that appeal to a broader audience, including children and families. The repertoire includes classics by composers such as Johann Strauss, Franz Lehár, and Emmerich Kálmán, alongside well-known operas and popular musicals.

The Volksoper also has a commitment to cultivating new talents and features performances by up-and-coming artists as well as established stars. With approximately 300 performances a year, it plays a pivotal role in Vienna's cultural scene, providing entertainment that is both high in quality and varied in style. This opera house is an integral part of Vienna's rich musical heritage, offering a more casual and inclusive approach to the performing arts.
