The Duchess of Chicago is one of Emmerich Kálmán's liveliest stage works and was premiered in 1928 at the height of the Viennese operetta era. In this score, the composer combines European elegance with the dynamic energy of early American jazz in an original way. Waltzes, foxtrots and syncopated rhythms merge to create a sound that is as refined as it is spirited. The work reflects the cosmopolitan spirit of the interwar period with a great deal of humor and cultural contrast. The arrangement by Bertrand Moren emphasizes the melodic variety and rhythmic liveliness. At the same time, the theatrical charm of the original is preserved and illuminated in a new way. The result is a colorful musical portrait of an era full of new beginnings and modernity.
