Riga Operetta Theatre prepares new staging of "Parisian Bohemia" set in an insect world
The Riga Operetta Theatre is preparing a new production called "Parisian Bohemia," directed by Sonora Vaice and inspired by Imre Kálmán's operetta "Countess Maritza" (known locally as "The Violet of Montmartre"). The staging is distinguished by an insect-world visual concept and jazz-style musical arrangements.
The Riga Operetta Theatre is currently developing a new, contemporary production titled "Parisian Bohemia." Director Sonora Vaice has taken on the project, drawing inspiration from Imre Kálmán's classic operetta known in Latvia as "The Violet of Montmartre."
An unusual visual concept
At the heart of the production is a story of human emotions and passions, but audiences will see it through an unexpected lens — the world of insects. This concept will be emphasized through costumes specially created for the production, designed to reflect the aesthetics of insect characters.
Music reimagined in jazz style
While the production is built on Kálmán's well-known music, audiences will hear it reworked in a jazz-style interpretation, giving the staging a modern sound.
Information about the premiere date and other details has not yet been made public.
