Frau Haydn in Trouble ~ Comic Opera

Frau Haydn in Trouble is a fictional comic opera loosely based on the life of Mrs. Haydn, against the backdrop of the classist society of Imperial Vienna, Based on a fictional account by Daniel Daroca loosely based on historical accounts of Ms. Haydn’s antics, this comic opera takes a kindhearted look at the central character, a woman ahead of her times, full of contradictions, striving to make her mark amid an oppressive society. Frau Haydn tries her best but cannot seem to get a break. Her timing is off; her ideas are too wild for the times. Always a day late and a dollar short, Frau Haydn makes the right move at the wrong time, ending up in utter frustration-totally misunderstood. But despite all her foibles, we empathize with her. She ends up being a likable antihero, because in a way she reminds us of our own shortcomings.
