Rossini in Wildbad: Marriage on the Journey - Weckerlin 2

Modern premieres! Weckerlin, an Alsatian composer, achieved great success in 1850s Paris with his small operas, some of which were first performed in the salons of his friend Rossini. A young woman is to be married to a stranger and refuses. During her journey, she meets her bridegroom, who disguises his true identity to test her. The bride sees through the game but reveals nothing. Her father mistakes the stranger for a criminal and wants him arrested, but in the end everyone must reveal themselves: the young couple has truly fallen in love, and the bride's father manages to stop the authorities. Happy ending. We also perform a scene set in Rossini's salon, featuring modern premieres of Rossini pieces, couplets, and songs.

The purchase of the programme booklet counts as admission to the opera introduction one hour before the start at the Forum König-Karls-Bad.
