A Woman Who Knows What She Wants!

Oscar Straus
Last Chance
©
In the limelight: Dagmar Manzel and Max Hopp! She plays: operetta diva Manon Cavallini, her suitor Raoul, and the father of her daughter Lucy. He plays: that same Lucy, all five of Cavallini’s lovers, and Lucy’s gallant to boot. In additional roles: Dagmar Manzel and Max Hopp! A breathless tour de force, with the orchestra under Adam Benzwi’s baton igniting a fireworks display of marches, waltzes, and chansons, all from the pen of Oscar Straus.
The celebrated operetta star Manon Cavallini has all the men lying at her feet. Raoul Severac, who attends her performances at the theatre every evening, is also hopelessly in love with her – much to the annoyance of young Lucy Paillard, who is completely smitten with the bachelor and is determined to marry him.
