Operetta by Paul Abraham:

‍

Hollywood meets the Côte d’Azur. Marylou, daughter of film producer Sam Macintosh, plans to create her own movie, hoping the film’s profits will save Universal Star Picture Ltd. from bankruptcy and herself from an arranged marriage orchestrated by her father. While scanning the gossip column of the New York Times, Marylou stumbles upon the perfect real-life story: Spanish Infanta Isabella, living in exile with her dethroned family at a luxury hotel on the Côte d’Azur. For Isabella, a film offer would be just what she needs to finance her court—if only the setting weren’t so beneath her dignity. As if things couldn’t get more complicated, hotel waiter Albert falls in love with the beautiful Spaniard!

‍

Paul Abraham’s 1934 operetta Märchen im Grand Hôtel ("Fairy Tale in the Grand Hotel") is teeming with typical operetta clichés: class differences, last-minute resolutions of major misunderstandings, all set to dazzling music that not only evokes the operetta bliss of the "Silver Era" but also skillfully brings fashionable dances like the foxtrot and tango, along with new jazz sounds, to the stage. Born in Hungary in 1892, Paul Abraham became one of the most successful composers of his time in the early 1930s with works like Viktoria und ihr Husar, Die Blume von Hawaii, and Ball im Savoy. However, his soaring career was abruptly halted by the Nazi terror. Abraham fled via Paris to New York, where he was unable to regain his artistic footing. Soon after, he descended into a state of mental decline from which he never recovered, remaining in this condition until his death in 1960.
