He’s royalty. She’s not. Their unlikely romance is one of operetta’s greatest love stories! Bored with royal life, Prince Karl sets off to finish his studies and find a freedom far away from the mythical kingdom of Karlsberg. Surrounded by fellow students, the Prince finds himself swept away by the sights, the sounds and the sentimental song of Kathie, the innkeeper’s daughter. Their friendship gives way to true love, but when news arrives that the king has died; Prince Karl must return home for his coranation and his wedding! Will he honor an arranged marriage with a proper Princess or abandon his kingdom for Kathie? The show’s majestic score features the timeless “Golden Days,” “Deep In My Heart” and the celebrated “Drinking Song.”
