THE GYPSY BARON - May 1965
Set in Hungary in the 18th century this is the colourful story of the marriage of a landowner and a gypsy girl who is revealed as the daughter of a Turkish Pasha, and the rightful owner of hidden treasure. It involves a fortune-telling Romany Queen, an absurdly self-important Mayor, a rascally Commissioner, a Military Governor, a band of gypsies and a troop of Hussars. Theatrically very effective and musically superb.
GYPSY BARON (1885) is a comic opera in 3 acts. Libretto by Ignaz Schnitzer based on the story Sáffi by Mór Jókai. Music by Johann Strauss II
