Description: A practical joke. A secret rendezvous. One man?s elaborate plan for revenge leads to a rousing evening of mistaken identities, flirtations, and light-hearted deceit. Set in 19th-century Vienna, this delightful farce is filled with effervescent melodies, lilting waltzes and charming sentiment.
