  • Kalman's works are culturally Hungarian, but they were written in German. They go back to a time when Austria and Hungary were not separate countries; Csardasfuerstin opened in Vienna in 1915. (Maritza was written after the first world war, but the plot is really prewar.)

    Operettas are typically translated, but I think they are best in their original languages.

    Enjoyed this performance very much.

  • beautiful !

  • A very Lively performance and very much appreciated by me. They sing well together and are both attractive to watch.  Thank you for posting.

  • No, operettas are translated into the language of the country they are staged in.

  • No , it supposed to be in Hungarian , as Imre Kalman was an Hungarian operette composer . Hes works based on Hungarian culture and tradition .

  • isn't this NOT supposed to be in Russian?

  • I think you are one of those who prefer to attach labels to people rather then try to answer to the point. In fact, there was propaganda as a genre of propaganda, and good movies. But there was no shit (like horror movies, porno, pop-shit, and so on). The question is again - should there be moral imperative or not? censors do not have to represent the party, but party itself can also refer to some imperative. If you question the scale of freedom - freedom is anywhere, just keep it moral.

  • Thank you for your opinion. I think you are a hard-core Leninism advocate. Mao alsid the said the same thing - " All arts must serve the need of people. The Party is the sole representative of the People's need and moral value." I am an atheist with a firm belief in freedom. There are some great films produced during the Soviet era. The majority are too propagandistic to enjoy.

  • Naturally, the quality of movies and ballet was better in sense of moral. But it all depends on whether you accept moral imperative of art or not. Soviet ideology was based on high personal moral, although atheistic, but without desire of money and career. Consequently, the censors were deciding whether the certain product meets these requirements or not, and that's all.

  • Should censorship make Russian arts and culture better? If so who would be qualified to censor?
