Why go
A storm drives a lively group into the Waldmühle, where a singer’s disguise, a strict forester and a bogus black woodruff plant trigger a chain of romantic mix-ups. Josef E. Köpplinger reshapes Johann Strauss’s late operetta as a brisk screwball comedy, with Michael Brandstätter conducting the Gärtnerplatz ensemble, chorus and orchestra. The German-language staging has German and English surtitles, a 12+ recommendation and strobe effects.
