Marinka (operetta)

About the show

The plot, set in Vienna, Mayerling, and Budapest, with a prologue and epilogue in an open air movie theatre in Connecticut, was a retelling of the story of the Mayerling Incident. In the prologue, youngsters at a movie palace watch a film about the Mayerling story and feel that it is too tragic. Their cab driver, the son of Rudolph's coachman, has his own version of the story.
