202175 Years of Operette Balzers - First Day Cover

Operette Balzers has been firmly rooted in cultural events of the region for decades. This year it looks back on its first operetta production 75 years ago when "The Village without a Bell" by Edward Künneke was performed. The history of the organisation itself began back in 1918, when the actors entertained their audiences with plays and musical performances in the early years until the real operetta era began in 1946. In the anniversary year 2021, the creative artists will begin preparations for Johann Strauss' "A Night in Venice", which will be performed as an anniversary operetta at the beginning of 2022.
