This rarely staged operetta gem takes you to the Alps and tells the story of Princess Elisabeth and Crown Prince Georg. Both flee the expectations of their royal families and meet incognito in the mountains. An unexpected avalanche forces them to spend a night together, far from civilization.

Lehár, inspired by the mountain film melodramas of the 1920s and 1930s, created Beautiful is the World with an opulent musical structure.

This staging in Styria promises a feast for the senses, where the Alpine setting and captivating music blend harmoniously.
