"Sagt dir eine schöne Frau Vielleicht" is a popular operetta composed by Nico Dostal. The operetta premiered on 23rd December 1932 at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna, Austria. The libretto was written by Robert Gilbert and Rudolf Österreicher. The operetta consists of three acts and is set in Vienna during the 1930s. The story revolves around the life of a young and handsome composer named Peter, who is struggling to make a name for himself in the music industry. He falls in love with a beautiful and wealthy woman named Marianne, who is engaged to a wealthy businessman named Baron von Schönberg. Peter's friend, Fritz, helps him to win Marianne's heart by pretending to be a wealthy composer. However, their plan backfires when Marianne discovers the truth and breaks off her engagement with Baron von Schönberg. In the end, Peter and Marianne get married, and Fritz finds love with Marianne's friend, Hilde. The first movement of the operetta is a lively and upbeat overture that sets the tone for the rest of the performance. The second movement is a romantic duet between Peter and Marianne, where they express their love for each other. The third movement is a comical scene where Fritz pretends to be a wealthy composer to impress Marianne. The fourth movement is a dramatic scene where Marianne breaks off her engagement with Baron von Schönberg. The fifth movement is a lively and upbeat dance number, and the final movement is a romantic finale where Peter and Marianne get married. The music of "Sagt dir eine schöne Frau Vielleicht" is characterized by its catchy melodies, lively rhythms, and romantic themes. The operetta was a huge success when it premiered in Vienna and has since been performed in many countries around the world. It is considered one of Nico Dostal's most popular works and is still performed today.
