Rapid legends kicked popular opera stars – scene

You don’t see a match like this every day: Legends of the Wiener Sport-Club and SK Rapid kicked the ensemble members of the Vienna Volksoper.

First of all – nobody was injured. For a friendship match with football legends such as Steffen Hofmann, Florian Sturm, Christoph Hevera or Markus Buchinger, folk opera stars from the operetta ensemble dared “Roxy and her wonder team” on the lawn. The main actress Katharina Gorgi gave the impetus.

The game was played at the Wiener Sport-Club Platz. “Today” was there and let the players compete in their own quiz duel. The folk opera stars tried to explain football terms, the professional table footballers practiced the stage jargon. You can see who collected the most points in the video.

“Wonder team” is on the stage

Today, however, the actors go away from the football field and back to the theater stage. In the operetta “Roxy and her wonder team”, the sweet Scottish girl Roxy (Katharina Gorgi) becomes the new mascot of the Hungarian national soccer team and accompanies the team to the training camp at Lake Balaton. The residents of the neighboring girls’ boarding school then literally attack the footballers around Arpad.

The operetta, which premiered in 1937 at the Theater an der Wien, is considered the last great work by composer Paul Abraham. The dazzling revue operetta, directed by house debutant Andreas Gergen, is bursting with humor, sex appeal and the testosterone of the soccer team. The musical arrangement between csárdas, jazz and operetta melting comes from Kai Tietje, who is the first to stand at the podium of the folk opera orchestra.

By the way: Steffen Hoffmann’s green team won the entertaining match 5-3 against the red team of the Viennese sports club legends.
