I am Pino Nugnes from Italy. The three most important operettas has been shown more times in the last 50 years. And ROXY UND IHR WUNDERTEAM was a great success in Abbazia (nowadays Opatja in Croatia) in 1938. Italians love Paul Abraham’s scores. I have created a site on Facebook called “Ricordando il Re dell’Operetta Elvio Calderoni” (Remembering Elvio Calderoni the king of the Operetta). Calderoni played Janczy and Jim Boy and Celestin Formand in VIKTORIA UND IHR HUSAR, DIE BLUME VON HAWAII and BALL IM SAVOY. He was a great buffo-operetta. He was dead at 40 (in 1970) but many fans still remember him and are touched thinking about his sad end. Even if you do not understand the Italian language, go the this site please. Operetta fans will find very rare pictures of operetta scenes (including the three Abraham’s operettas). You can see many pictures about Rosy Barsony who was Calderoni alongside for 10 years at one of the most important Operetta Festival in Europe (in Trieste) during the ’50. Trust me. Go to this site. (I can answer you in English even if it’s not my mother tongue as you can see) Vielen Dank! (ciao Kevin!)
