On the occasion of this year’s Provincial Exhibition titled “Men, Myths and Monarchs” Bad Ischl’s Lehár Festival will feature two operettas which reveal close thematic links with the exhibition’s theme.
This year’s festival is opened with a premier of The Gypsy Baron on 12 July.

The performance is directed by Dolores Schmidinger, Mehrzad Montazeri stars as Barinkay.
To celebrate the 60th anniversary of Lehár’s death and to honor the friendship between Franz Lehár and Richard Tauber, two Bad Ischl residents by choice, this year’s Lehár Festival Bad Ischl will feature Der Zarewitsch (The Czarevich; premiere on 19 July 2008) by Franz Lehár. The operetta is set in Russia at the end of the 19th century and tells the bitter-sweet love story between crown prince Aljoscha and the dancer Sonja.
The Lehár Festival also commemorates the birthday of Austria’s last emperor with its traditional Imperial Gala featuring star baritone Sebastian Holecek on 16 August 2008.
