Synopsis:
Shortly after WWII, the DEFA Studios produced a series of operas and operettas which belonged to the classical German musical heritage. This enchanting film, the very first opera production of DEFA, stands out because of its lavish decor and costumes, its outstanding actors and their masterful voices of that time.

Press Comments:
"This is an enchanting film which has the vibrant spirit and charm of Mozart's music. A rare delight on the silver screen. Artur Rother headed the precise musical direction." -- The Berlin Sozialdemokrat of 27.11.1949
