Strauss' first operetta tours Vienna
Fantasca and Janio are cast away on a desert island. Island-king Indigo wants Janio as advisor and Fantasca for his harem, but she plays for time. The king hears about a band of robbers in the woods and Fantasca gets him to offer her in marriage as a reward for catching them. She disguises herself and the harem as robbers, and Janio “captures” them. Then a ship turns up from nowhere and takes everyone back to Vienna. Director Anna Bernreitner presents Indigo in a travel-tour format performable at 23 different locations in Vienna.
