ABOUT THE PRINCESS OF THE CIRCUS
The Circus Princess (original German title: “Die Zirkusprinzessin”) is an operetta in three acts composed by Emmerich Kálmán to a libretto written by Julius Brammer and Alfred Grünwald, which premiered on March 26, 1926 at the Theater an der Wien from Vienna.
The action of the operetta revolves around the mysterious character “Mister X”, whose true identity no one knows, he always wears a mask. In reality, he is Prince Fedja Palinski who was banished and disinherited by his uncle because he fell in love with his future wife, Princess Fedora, a beautiful young Parisian. After Fedora Palinska became a widow, she left for Paris, and Prince Fedja Palinski entered the world of the circus, becoming the mysterious Mister X and also the main attraction of the shows.
