This Element compares productions of Offenbach's Belle Hélène and Kálmán's Herzogin von Chicago, considering their choices regarding plot, text, performance style, music, and costumes and sets. In every case, there is some reinterpretation involved. Some versions tweak the original while others expand and alter it in a full Regietheater approach.
