A gramophone recording of the aria «Dein ist mein ganzes hertz« (You Are My Heart's Delight) was released and became famous even before the premiere of the operetta The Land of Smiles on 10th October 1929 at the Metropol Theater Berlin. The audience then flocked to the theatre to enjoy its live performance, and the contemporaries wrote that The Land of Smiles was the first operetta in history where every piece of music became a hit.
The famous romantic operetta, filled with beautiful melodies and Chinese colour, which will surely enchant you, will be followed on the same evening by the premiere of the comic opera Mice in the Opera House by the Slovenian composer Alojz Ajdič to the libretto by Vinko Möderndorfer, which, presented in the composer's typical musical expression is a comically realistic reflection of life in the opera house, both on and behind the stage.
