Operetta in three acts by Emmerich Kálmán | Libretto by Julius Brammer and Alfred Grünwald | In German
Having a charming, singing housekeeper save an operetta performance is in itself quite a fabulous theatrical clou. And when the trottoirs of Montmartre resp. the atelier of painting, composing and writing bohemians provides the tableau for amorous entanglements, and when the maître d' of the silver operetta era, Emmerich Kálmán, lends his work, premiered in 1930, the refined je ne sais quoi along with a fountain of catchy earworms, “Violet of Montmartre” has everything that is needed for a classy, melancholic, upbeat operetta evening with a touch of signature Parisian perfume.
