Arizona Lady

Stage 773
1225 W Belmont Ave Chicago

Chicago Folks Operetta, with its rich tradition of premiering rarely heard operettas, is delighted to present the American premiere of Arizona Lady, the last operetta written by the great Hungarian composer Emmerich Kálmán. This romantic operetta will take you back to the rough-and-tumble, happy-go-lucky wild west of Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. It tells the story of a tough but lonely ranch owner Lona Farrell, her horse, Arizona Lady, and their encounter with a strong-willed singing cowboy. The show evokes the spirit and sounds of the classic western movies, spiced with the exotic flavorings of Kálmán’s rich, lilting Hungarian melodies.

  Review Round-Up

Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended

"...For Arizonans, all four exhibit a surprising familiarity with Austro-Hungarian song and dance styles. Three hours worth of frothy music and silly plot mechanics can get a little enervating, but it's a treat to listen to the uniformly fine voices in Chicago Folks Operetta's vibrant production."

Centerstage - Somewhat Recommended

"...As a theatrical piece, the production is cumbersome and runs a bit long for modern audiences. The libretto could be enhanced by some editing for subsequent productions; however, enjoying this operetta as it was originally written is a unique experience. Originally debuting on Bavarian radio, it later boasted only one European production. This is its American premiere."
