Premiere of an operetta with barrel organs, choir, soprano and double bass player, with stories about the opening of the Landquart-Davos Railway.
We are delighted to welcome the newly restored Graubünden steam locomotive no. 1 back onto the rails of the Rhaetian Railway with the "Operetta on the Track" and hopefully a large audience.
The "Operetta on the track" is set against the backdrop of the original train with carriages and steam locomotive no. 1 "RHÆTIA" (in operation) of the former narrow-gauge Landquart-Davos railroad in October 1889. The departure of the inaugural train to Klosters is recreated in an operetta-like manner in a theatrical and musical scene on the Landquart platform in October 1889.
At the center of the action are the Dutch railroad founder, former sailor and banker Willem Jan Holsboer and his wife Ursula. The joys and drawbacks of this important railroad opening for Graubünden are presented in a fresh way with songs and texts, some of them newly composed. Organ grinders from Switzerland and Germany, the Tschoo-Tschoo-Singers from S-chanf, two professional and other amateur actors in historical costumes provide a special treat.
The operetta takes place outdoors, with a covered grandstand available for the audience.
The founder's train with the RHÆTIA steam locomotive takes spectators from Landquart to Schiers and back again before the performances. The number of seats is limited. Train tickets can only be purchased with operetta tickets and are only valid with an Oprettenticket.
The organizers of the Samedner Club 1889 and the Drehorgelfestival Engadin association look forward to your visit.
