Der Graf von Luxemburg (The Count of Luxembourg) is an operetta in three acts by Franz Lehár to German libretto by Alfred Willner, Robert Bodanzky, and Leo Stein. It premiered at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna, on 12 November 1909 and was an immediate success. It has remained in the repertory until the present day, especially in German-speaking countries and had adaptations into French as Le comte de Luxembourg and English as The Count of Luxembourg which were very successful in their day. A Viennese take on bohemian life in Paris at the beginning of the 20th century, the story revolves around an impoverished aristocrat and a glamorous opera singer who have entered into a sham marriage without ever seeing each other and later fall in love at first sight, unaware that they are already husband and wife.

Lehár composed Der Graf von Luxemburg in only three weeks and in a private remark before its premiere called it "Sloppy work, completely worthless!" However, it became his first major international success after The Merry Widow. Between those operettas, he had composed two one-act stage works, Peter und Paul reisen ins Schlaraffenland (Peter and Paul Travel to Paradise) and Mitislaw der Moderne (Fashionable Mitislaw), followed by his indifferently received three-act operetta Der Mann mit den drei Frauen (The Man with Two Wives) in 1908 and the somewhat more successful Das Fürstenkind (Maids of Athens) which premiered in October 1909, one month before Der Graf von Luxemburg.

Like The Merry Widow, Der Graf von Luxemburg deals with themes of wealth and dubious marriages and the contrast between the gaiety of Parisian society and Slavic seriousness. The libretto was written by Alfred Willner, Robert Bodanzky, and Leo Stein. Stein had previously worked with Lehár on his 1904 Der Göttergatte, and Bodanzky had co-authored the librettos for both Peter und Paul reisen ins Schlaraffenland and Mitislaw der Moderne. The libretto for Der Graf von Luxemburg was not completely new. It was a re-working of the one written by Alfred Willner and Bernard Buchbinder twelve years earlier for Johann Strauss' unsuccessful operetta Die Göttin der Vernunft (The Goddess of Reason).

With the exception of Die lustige Witwe which together with Die Fledermaus has claims to be the best operetta ever, Das Land des Lächelns is the most popular of all the Lehár stage works.

Ironically much of the music for Das Land des Lächelns was written several years earlier, in 1923, for Die gelbe Jacke (The Yellow Jacket), which was a flop. However in 1929 Lehár reworked it to a new libretto and with Richard Tauber in the central role of Prince Sou-Chong it became a resounding success. More serious, even tragic, than Die Witwe, it is filled with memorable songs and a scoring that is far more advanced than in most other operettas. Partly set in China it can be tempting to compare it to Puccini’s Turandot, written at about the same time. Although the differences are obvious, with Puccini’s harmonic language considerably bolder, that doesn’t necessarily mean that Lehár emerges second best. The orchestral and choral introduction to the second act can confidently stand comparison with Puccini. ---Göran Forsling, musicweb-international.com

 

Lehár is remembered for his sterling score: The Merry Widow. Although always regarded as a light-weight composer, he introduced a new wave of operetta and may be regarded as one of the fathers of the ‘Musicals’.

Putting the Merry Widow aside, Lehár came to fame with The Count of Luxembourg in 1909 and when a series of romantic operettas followed. In 1923 The Yellow Jacket (Die gelbe Jacke) was given a Chinese setting and it told a story of an oriental prince and a Viennese woman. Despite its spectacular staging the production was only moderately successful with around 100 performances. However, Lehár relaunched this work as The Land of Smiles (Das Land des Lachelns/Le Pays du Sourire) in a much revised form six years later. The work then gained immortality. Traubner who has researched the operetta tells us that the secret of its successful relaunch was principally due to three items– firstly a much improved libretto, secondly a magnificent song for Sou-Chong, ‘Yours is my Heart alone’ and thirdly by giving the principal tenor part to a known star, Richard Tauber. In fact Tauber, the world-famous Austrian tenor of the '20s, brought fame to four of Lehar’s scores during this period (1925-9).

Le Pays du Sourire (The Land of Smiles) is a straightforward tale of a prince, Sou Chong of China (Michel Dens), who woos and quickly weds Lisa, a lady of Vienna (Bernadette Antoine). He then takes her home to China at the end of the first Act. [In moving the action from West to East between Acts we are thus provided with the vehicle for a grand transformation of setting.] In Act 2 a twist to the previously happy climate of Act 1 reveals that Lisa has found she has difficulty in adapting to the ways of the East. Lisa sings her poignant song, ‘How I long to see my homeland again’(CD2 tk.12), a number skilfully composed to emotionally stir the audience. A final shock comes when the Prince declares that he intends to take more wives, and Chinese ones at that. A further twist lies in the fact that one of the Chinese princesses, Mi (Sylvia Paule) longs for some of the freedom that only the West can offer. She is provided with some lovely musical moments by Lehár in a both a solo and duet. ---Raymond Walker, musicweb-international.com

»It is a pleasure to listen to the orchestra: after a long pause, again a musician who knows how to write operettas.« This statement appeared in the strict Neue Freie Presse of Vienna following the premiere of Franz Lehár's first operetta, Wiener Frauen, at the Theater an der Wien in November 1902. After Johann Strauß and Carl Millöcker, the giants of the Golden Age of the operetta, had died in 1899, a noticeable vacuum was created, with attempts being made to fill it already in the last decade of the nineteenth century – but to no avail. It was then that the young military bandmaster Franz Lehár came along at just the right moment – after having doffed his uniform for good in 1902. He was a composer in his orientation phase, and it was not at all clear where his musical path would take him; but he felt that the opera was his calling. Fate and fortune, however, pointed him in a slightly different direction: he suddenly found himself with two operetta libretti to set. One was Der Rastelbinder, and the other was Wiener Frauen. Both celebrated sensational successes, and overnight Lehár was the new operetta king. Now here was a fellow who could write memorable melodies, and soon everybody everywhere – not only in Vienna – was whistling the »Nechledil March.« Our freshly produced cross section vindicates the honor of Lehár's inaugural work. ---jpc.de

I'll make this short and sweet. This 1962 EMI "Merry Widow" is arguably the greatest recording ever made of an operetta. It was acclaimed with critical superlatives upon the time of its original release, and in light of subsequent versions, it shines more brilliantly than ever before. The stereo sound, already good to begin with, has been remastered with precision and care, furnishing us with a musical document that could have been recorded yesterday. Lovro von Matacic has shaped the score into a fantastic theatrical experience, evoking the Viennese spirit at every turn. Elisabeth Schwarzkopf was born to perform this charming and beautiful role, and expectedly, creates a Hanna Glawari that leaves all others at the starting gate ---- including Joan Sutherland, Cheryl Studer, and Beverly Sills. Nicolai Gedda's Camille Rosillon is a vocal paragon, producing sound that conjures the illusion of honey being poured into the ear. There may be a few reservations about Eberhard Waechter's blustery and gruff Danilo, but this is but a very minor flaw in light of the beauty of the entire production. The supporting cast is excellent. If one owns no other operetta recording, this one is an absolute must. In keeping with EMI's logo, here very apt, this "Merry Widow" is truly one of the great recordings of the century. Acquire it without delay. --- "lesismore26", amazon.com

Franz Lehar/Vienna Radio Orchestra. Another treasure from Viennese radio during World War II, with the composer conducting a spirited and loving rendition of one of his more pleasant, if not quite first-rate works. Worth picking up by anybody who loves romantic stories and melodies. --Bruce Eder, AllMusic Review

 

Lehár’s Wo die Lerche singt (Where the Lark Sings) opened at the Theater an der Wien on 27 March 1918 in front of a war-weary audience. Those attending must have been relieved to enjoy an evening of good old-fashioned Viennese operetta moulded in Lehár’s popular style. Indeed it was seen no fewer than 416 times until it finally closed in 1929. It turned out to be Lehár’s second most successful work at the Theater an der Wien after The Merry Widow. Today it appears to be largely forgotten and, indeed, only merits one paragraph in Richard Traubner’s history, Operetta.

The story like so many of Lehár’s later operettas embraces a happy ending. It is a story of a young country girl, Margit, who is engaged to a local young man Pista, but is seduced away from him by a painter who has been staying in her village. When she runs away with the painter to the town she realises that he is fickle and unworthy of her love when he returns to his former sweetheart, Vilma. Margit realises town life is not for her and she returns with her grandpapa Török Pál to the countryside where the lark sings and to her fiancé. Of the operetta’s four scenes the first, and longest, is set in Margit’s native countryside. Lehár underlines its rustic charm and innocence in orchestral accompaniments that so often imitate birdsong. The other three scenes have suitably more sophisticated music and the orchestra’s mocking attitude is sometimes apparent. ---Ian Lace, musicweb-international.com

Der Zarewitsch is representative of the last phase of the "silver age" of operetta. It takes on an aura of serious opera and symphonic music, it includes subject matter that one also finds in the cinema of the time; and the vocal writing shows the influence of Puccini. Lehár's orchestration is refined in its use of colorful contrasts, and the stage roles are precisely characterized musically. The vocal writing in Der Zarewitsch is unabashedly lyrical, perhaps because Lehár was certain of the quality of the performers he would have for the work's first performance.

The success of Lehár's Paganini of 1925 prompted the composer to continue in the direction of historical drama, producing first Der Zarewitsch and then, soon after, Friederike. Der Zarewitsch is based on a Polish play of the same name, by the playwright Gabryela Zapolska, which Lehár had seen in Vienna in 1917. From the original play Béla Jenbach (1871-1943) and Heinz Reichert developed a libretto, which was offered to Lehár in 1925. Evidently, the composer rejected the book, which was then offered to Mascagni, who wrote nothing, then to Eduard Künneke. Lehár eventually changed his mind and decided to set the text.

Jenbach and Reichert glossed over some of the unpleasant historical facts contained in Zapolska's play, which is loosely based on the life of Czar Peter the Great's son, Alexei. Very early in the eighteenth century, Alexei left Russia with a Finnish woman, intending to live in Italy. Advisors convinced Alexei to return to his homeland, but he was promptly put on trial by his father and sent to prison, where he eventually died. In Jenbach and Reichert's version, the Czar-to-be leaves his lady, Sonja, in Italy to take up his duties in Russia.

Lehár tailored the part of the Zarewitsch to the voice of Richard Tauber, the famous Austrian tenor who had become the composer's standard interpreter and whose voice and stage presence almost ensured the success of Lehár's later works. Tauber once claimed that he and Lehár were brothers, "without the luxury of a blood relationship." Lehár was able to compose very ambitious voice parts for Tauber, and a typical "Tauber song" developed, featuring a dramatic, initial upward thrust that others came to imitate. Such songs in Der Zarewitsch are "Es steht ein Soldat am Wolgastrand" (There stands a soldier on the bank of the Volga) from the first act and "Willst du?" (Do you want to?), from Act Two. Tauber later claimed Der Zarewitsch was his favorite role.

Lehár found Berlin audiences more responsive to his Romantic voice than the Viennese and relocated to Berlin shortly before beginning Der Zarewitsch. Commissioned by the Deutsches Künstlertheater, Der Zarewitsch received its premiere there on February 21, 1927. Although the work may not have the continuous melodic flow of Paganini, it does possess some excellent numbers, among them Sonja's "Einer wird kommen" (Someone will come) and the first-act duet for Marscha and Ivan, "Dich nur allein, nenn' ich mein" (You alone I take for mine). "Warum hat jeder Frühling, ach, nur einen Mai?" (Why does every spring have but one May?), a duet for Sonja and Der Zarewitsch at the beginning of the third act, is a melodically splendid vehicle for both singers, especially the tenor.

Most of these numbers would fit well into any of Lehár's late operettas and bring nothing to the particular atmosphere of Der Zarewitsch. Lehár established the local color of the operetta's Russian milieu through orchestration, including balalaikas, and the use of the Neapolitan sixth chord and various church modes to create an "exotic" flavor. ---John Palmer, Rovi

As the detail-filled booklet essay to this CPO set reminds its readers, Franz Lehär's operettas enjoyed widespread, though rarely lasting, success, with the music theater world of the time eager for each successive work.

Of course, part of the interest lay in anticipating a work that might match the magic of The Merry Widow (1905). Premiering in 1920, Die Blaue Mazur had a nice run but has slipped into obscurity, where most of Lehär’s works keep it company. The booklet’s essay writer, Stefan Frey (as translated into English by Susan Marie Praeder), posits that the score featured a “new way of harmony and ultimate color appeal” that Lehär found in the music of Franz Schreker and Korngold. The orchestration has its moments, but as heard on this recording, Die Blaue Mazur sounds very much as one would expect any Lehär work to sound. Even by 1920, it must have felt dated.

Even Frey doesn’t attempt to describe the plot as anything but formulaic. It does begin with a marriage, where other stories might end. Undoing an inevitable misunderstanding between the newlywed Julian and Blanka, instigated partly by Julian’s former love Gretl, occupies the tired complications that ensue before the happy ending. As Julian, Johan Weigel’s pliant, lyrical tenor suits Lehär’s music well, but his character lacks one breakout number (the entire operetta does, actually). Johanna Stojkovich’s Blanka gets a wider range of emotions, and she puts them across attractively. A few unpleasant squawks do come from Jan Kobow in a minor tenor role. Otherwise, conductor Frank Beermann and the Singakademie Frankfurt musicians provide the most enjoyable work here. All three acts ends with finales where Lehär seems to be trying out any number of tunes. He never does find one great one, but a couple of them are attractive enough.

CPO provides no libretto. A comprehensive synopsis does feature tracks numbers that help the listener follow the action. Lovers of super-sweet Viennese trifles may find some pleasure in the set.--- Chris Mullins, operatoday.com

Giuditta, Franz Lehar’s five-scene musical comedy, tells the story of a woman who leaves her husband to run off to North Africa with an army officer, and the various twists and misadventures they encounter there. The premier of Giuditta at the Vienna State Opera in 1934 marked the fulfillment of a longstanding wish of its composer, Franz Lehar. Lehar wanted to combine opera and operetta into a new genre with the highest musical standards since the 1920's. The 1985 Electrola recording not only does justice to Lehar's intentions with the convincing Edda Moser and Nicolai Gedda in the lead roles, but the conductor Willi Boskovsky had previously taken part in the premiere as concertmaster of the Vienna Philharmonic, under the composer's baton. This ensures a thoroughly authentic performance of this complex 'musical comedy' which lies in between operetta and grand opera. --- arkivmusic.com
