“"God, what charms!" Giacomo Casanova is said to have exclaimed during his journey through Switzerland in the summer of 1760. The 35-year-old seducer had just decided to join the Einsiedeln monastery as a monk when he saw a beauty outside his window and immediately changed his mind. Madame de***, a married lady from Solothurn, was the reason why Casanova's journey took him to the small town, but of course she was not the only chosen one on his triumphal march between Zurich and Geneva.

The libretto of the comic opera "Casanova in Switzerland" by Paul Burkhard and Richard Schweizer follows Giacomo Casanova's stories about love, hate, disappointments and intrigues pretty closely. The Swiss composer Paul Burkhard, best known today for his musicals "Feuerwerk", "Die Kleine Niederdorfoper" and "D'Zäller Wiehnacht", wrote the work together with his librettist Richard Schweizer for the Zurich Opera House, where the successful premiere took place in 1943 took place.”

“Die beiden anderen Damen, die Casanova in Zürich trifft, werden höchst lebendig von Lysa Menu (Binz), und Julia Andersson (Glutz) gegeben.”
