PRODUCTION
"For a marionette stage, 'The White Horse Inn' presents a great challenge. Not least the numerous props used by the puppets pose the highest demands on the puppeteers. Letters, glasses and suitcases, even musical instruments and animals must be mastered."

STAGE HISTORY
The premiere of "The White Horse Inn" took place on November 8, 1930 at the Berlin Schauspielhaus. The setting is the White Horse Inn in St. Wolfgang in the Salzkammergut region of Austria. In London, the play had 651 performances in a Erik Charell production, and in New York, The White Horse Inn was performed 223 times on Broadway at the Center Theatre in 1936, once again in a newly composed musical production by Charell.
The work was banned in Nazi Germany due to its Jewish co-authors. The scene at the baths, which was perceived as scandalous, also angered the Nazis.
On June 19, 2009, "The White Horse Inn" was newly staged.
The rediscovered Rössel is brighter and jazzier than the arrangement played to this day from the 1950s. Even the historical recordings of individual musical numbers could only provide an approximate idea of it.
