Having debuted at the Dresdner Semperoper as Monostatos, tenor Maximilian Mayer was invited back to participate in the new production of Jacques Offenbach’s “La Grande-Duchesse de Gérolstein”. As Fritz, common soldier, he has caught the Grande-Duchesse’s eye (Anne Schwanewilms), and his career enjoys a meteoric ascent, regrettably one with an equally rapid descent. Josef E. Köpplinger and Jonathan Darlington have undertaken the stage and musical direction, respectively.
