Soothing sorrow and loss with music, spirit, and laughter Longy presents Countess Maritza by Emmerich Kálmán. This comedy of mistaken identity, set between the two world wars, marries Viennese light opera with Hungarian dance music. In this production, the characters’ comic search for identity and unification is set in contrast with the dramatic search for national identity taking place following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
