Description: Stripped of dialogue, this 1899 two-act operetta is a taut and tuneful 50-minute tale of a pair of travelling singers, a local prince and his dancing-girl companion and a diamond necklace which is not all it may seem. A male duo and a waltz song therefrom became hits in German-speaking countries during the pre-World War II era. No libretto. Maria Leyer, Anneli Pfeffer (sopranos), Daniel Behle, Thomas Dewald (tenor), Karl Fäth (bass), WDR Radio Choir Cologne, WDR Funkhausorchester Cologne; Helmuth Froschauer.
