Synopsis

Political intrigue. Love triangles. Pie. Everything you could ask for in a comic operetta! In this story about the thrill of competition and the joy of play, the Prime Minister of Portugal and the rabble-rousing poet Cervantes jockey for power over the throne, while the king and queen are preoccupied with affairs of the heart. Don’t miss this rarely performed gem by Johann Strauss, Jr!
