Viki (operetta)

Viki (operetta)

Viki is an operetta by Paul Abraham to a libretto by Harmath Imre and Adorján Bónyi; it premiered on 26 January 1935 at the National Theatre (Budapest) (or Magyar Színház).

Viki is a headstrong, boisterous young woman who prefers to dress and act like a man. When she gets into an argument with the equally quarrelsome Feri, he fails to see through her disguise and challenges her to a duel, "man to man." During the duel Feri discovers Viki's true gender and instantly falls in love with her.

Two years after its premiere in Budapest, the operetta was made into a film in 1937 by the Hungarian director Keleti Márton.
