„Gern hab ich die Frau’n geküsst.“ Große Liebeslieder der Operette - mit Holger Ries (Tenor) und Martin Brödemann (Klavier)

Who doesn’t know them—the unforgettable titles of the great operettas: “Countess Mariza,” “The White Horse Inn,” “The Csárdás Princess,” “The Merry Widow,” “The Land of Smiles”? Millions of people have seen these productions and love their melodies, which Holger Ries and Martin Brödemann have compiled for this event.
The search for true, great, and one-and-only love drives the plot and theme of most operettas. This is reflected in the popular, cheerful—but also quite sad and dramatic—songs in this program, which Holger Ries skillfully weaves together with informative interludes.
