“Always smile and always be cheerful, always satisfied, no matter what happens, smile in spite of your sorrows and a thousand aches and pains”, sings Prince Sou-Chong, thus introducing the fundamentally melancholic tone of “Das Land des Lächelns” (The Land Of Smiles), which even has a tragic ending in store. For the new production of this operetta, world-class tenor Piotr Beczała returned to the Opernhaus Zürich as Sou-Chong.
