Zsuzsi kisasszony
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zsuzsi kisasszony (literally "Miss Suzy", also known as Die Faschingsfee and Miss Springtime) is an operetta in 3 acts by Hungarian composer Emmerich Kalman. It premiered at the Vig theatre in Budapest on February 23, 1915. The Hungarian language libretto was by Martos and M. Bródy.
With a German libretto by A. M. Willner and R. Oesterreicher, a revised version of the music premiered as Die Faschingsfee in Vienna, at the Johann Strauss Theater, on 21 September 1917. As Miss Springtime, it opened on Broadway in 1916.
The plot revolves around an artist, Victor, who in defending the honor of an unknown woman (princess Alexandra Maria, as it turns out) offends his patron and loses a large stipend.
