Viennese operetta summer
The Vienna Operetta Summer was a 2003 founded Operetta Festival, the Open-Air-Event 2005 to 2013 every summer in the castle park Theresianum in the 4th Vienna district Wieden took place.
history
The Vienna Operetta Summer was launched in 2003 by Karl Scheibmaier. In July and August, a revue of operetta songs and dance interludes was presented at the Akzent Theater in Vienna . In 2005, Scheibmaier moved the event to the Theresianum palace gardens. In 2009, the former set designer for the Vienna operetta summer , Markus Windberger , took over the name of the event. Since then, entire operettas have been played at the Vienna Operetta Summer instead of revues as at the previous event. In 2011 the Johann Strauss operetta 'Wiener Blut' took place in the Chinese city of Fuzhou . The Vienna Operetta Summer had won the competition according to the invitation to tender by the Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China and was thus the only European participant in the 1st Chinese Opera Festival 2011 .
Under the directorship of Markus Windberger, his then wife Patricia Nessy was artistic director and Charles Prince was the musical director of the operetta summer. The stage was a peep box set in a baroque setting with a maximum width of 38 m and a total depth of 15 m. The orchestra consisted of a maximum of 40 musicians in a covered shell. The grandstand offered space for 500 people.
On April 23, 2013, the Eisenstadt Regional Court announced insolvency proceedings against Windberger Art GmbH as the organizer of the Vienna Operetta Summer due to a lack of cost coverage. Since the insolvency proceedings were not opened for lack of cost coverage, the company was liquidated. -Not up to date ! "Windberger Art GmbH" was deleted from the commercial register on September 1st, 2016. FN 324288w: Wiener Zeitung No. 183 of 17./18. September 2016.

In the productions, a role was often chosen, which was played every evening by a prominent guest. The intended fee for this role was donated by the artists and initiators to a good cause. These roles have been played by Richard Lugner , Sigrid Hauser , Roman Gregory , Ramesh Nair , Gernot Kranner and Franz Suhrada , among others .
During the breaks, there were performances to match the piece in the catering area, for example a standing violinist with the Csárdásfürstin or Chinese flute players with the Land of Smiles .
