It is a wonderful piece and can’t be done often enough.

The description above leaves me confused – is the titular princess an actual person/role? (Zanetta? Regina? Who is the Princess of Trebizonde??)

Thanks for your help/clarification.

Julie

Supposedly unnoticed.

No choeur de chasse, no choeur de pages, no introduction – no some of the wittiest and most romantic pages of the piece. No Grand opéra bouffe for sure. I dreamed of the Berlin Jürgen-Fehling-production, 1932 which must have been a Triumph of Satire and poetry.
