An immersive (operetta) theater experience
World premiere
A young couple about to be married at the Nesterval hotel find out just in time that they are in fact brother and sister. The arrival of Prince(ss) Ninetta, disguised as a young man, confuses things even more. Greatly admired by all, both as a man and as a woman, Ninetta suddenly disappears.
Is the mysterious hotel-guest Cassim guilty of foul play? Nesterval looks closely at this forgotten operetta by Johann Strauss, inquiring whether our presentday view of non-binary gender may perhaps already be implicit in Strauss’ original.
