A world premiere of toxic dreams based on So This Is Paris by Ernst Lubitsch
In 1926, the German director Ernst Lubitsch directed a sophisticated silent film titled So This Is Paris. The script was based on the 1872 French play Le Réveillon, which was also the basis for Strauss’s operetta Die Fledermaus. The Lubitsch/Strauss mashup So This Is Vienna! is a sardonic approach to spouse-swapping, forest trysts, erotic romance novels, out-of-control champagne-fueled dance parties, and accidental prison sentences. In short, it is a modern confectionary of sorts.
