A domineering linguistics professor transforms a rough-and-tumble flower seller into a refined lady—what a romance! And as a musical, it’s been an unmatched success, enchanting audiences worldwide for nearly seventy years, thanks to Shaw’s brilliant story and Loewe’s unforgettable melodies.
‘With exceptional singers and a stunning design, but without any gimmicky effects’ [BERLINER MORGENPOST], Andreas Homoki presents Eliza’s transformation ‘masterfully and without any frills’ [NZZ]. ‘Sumptuous 1920s costumes, gigantic gramophones on stage, and a dynamic orchestra—no wonder there was thunderous applause!’ [B.Z.]
