Czech-born composer Jaromir Weinberger, best known for his opera Schwanda the Bagpiper, was forced to flee to America in order escape Nazi terror. Fruhlingssturme, staged in 1933 but soon closed down by the Nazi government, was the last operetta of the Weimar Republic. It is filed with cultural complexity, combining serious operatic style with light comedy, and presents a thrilling story involving a doomed love affair set against war between Japan and Russia. This lavish production is staged by the award-winning Australian director Barrie Kosky.
