EspañolTHE GAY HUSSARS
'''The Gay Hussars''' is an operetta in three acts by Emmerich Kalman. The piece was Kalman's first operetta and a hit throughout Europe and America.
The first version, in Hungarian, 'Tatárjárás', with libretto by Karl von Bakonyi and A. Gabor, premiered at the Lustspieltheater in Budapest on 22 February, 1908. The German version, 'Ein Herbstmanover', with libretto by K. von Bakonyi and Robert Bodanzky, premiered in Vienna on 22 January, 1909. It was so popular that it prompted Kalman to move to Vienna.
Its New York premiere, as ''The Gay Hussars'', adapted by Maurice Browne Kirby with lyrics by Grant Stewart, was at the Knickerbocker Theatre on 29 July 1909 with W. H. Denny. Another English adaptation played in London as 'Autumn Manoeuvres', opening in 1912 at the Adelphi Theatre with Robert Evett. The piece then toured in Britain.
A version of ''Autumn Manoeuvers'' was recorded in 2003 by Ohio Light Opera.
