Der Graf von Luxemburg Opens Tonight

January 11, 2014 By Ian Sidden

Tonight, we’re opening Der Graf von Luxemburg at Theater Dortmund. This is my first experience with the operetta, and I’ve grown to love it. The story is wacky, the characters are charming, and the music ranges from boisterous to luscious.

Our production is fun and energetic with outrageous costumes and gorgeous sets, and my colleagues at the theater have done an amazing job putting it together. I’m really looking forward to performing it before an audience.

More info at Theater Dortmund’s website.

It’s a work inspired from the early history of the Merovingians in what is now France and the ongoing feud between two of the queens, Brunhild and Frédegonde. The work was composed by […]
