Is it true that happiness essentially consists of a little bit of health and a lot of bad memory? And if so, why isn't there an app for this yet? Gruber ponders whether sunsets are overrated or whether she simply has a burn-out or hypersensitization - triggered by a low-lactose tolerance intolerance? It explores the question of whether a child is capable of learning a trade, even though it is highly gifted? And: Are we all politically correct Corinthians* or is Monika's mom perhaps even happy when she has to call her "the parent" in a politically correct way in the future? One thing is certain in all of this: you can never please everyone and everything turns out differently than you think anyway, which ultimately doesn't matter, because: "There's always something"!

Most opera houses ring in the New Year with Johann Strauss Jr.'s most popular operetta--the festiveness of which is appropriate for the occasion--and this December 31, 1983, Covent Garden performance follows suit.
