Leo Fall was one of the most successful representatives of the silver operetta era, his "Rose von Stambul" being a sensational success at the Theater an der Wien in the winter of war in 1916/1917 with Betty Fischer in the title role on whose scent Kristiane Kaiser will be on 11 May 2014 at the Prinzregententheater in Munich where she will sing the role in a concert version. Ulf Schirmer will direct his Munich Radio Orchestra and the choir of the Bavarian Radio, Matthias Klink will sing the lyrical tenor songs of Achmed Bey and a CD recording will be released later on.
With the Munich Radio Orchestra, Kristiane Kaiser already sung and recorded Franz Lehár's "Friederike" and Anna-Elisa in "Paganini". She has established herself as renowned and high-quality performer of the opera and operetta and just celebrated an extraordinary success as Rosalinde in "Die Fledermaus" at the Wiener Volksoper under the musical direction of Julia Jones. It will also be at the Wiener Volksoper where she will debute in the role of Diemut in Richard Strauss' "Feuersnot" under Hans Graf at the end of this season.
