Grand Duchess Alexandra
Großfürstin Alexandra (Original Title)
Großfürstin Alexandra (Grand Duchess Alexandra) is an operetta directed by Wilhelm Thiele. It is based on Franz Lehár's operetta of the same name and marks the only film appearance of celebrated Czech opera soprano Maria Jeritza, who stars in the titular role alongside Paul Hartmann as Grand Duke Michael.
Prior to WWI and the Russian Revolution, the Russian Grand Duke Michael falls deeply in love with the singer Alexandra, leading him to sacrifice his wealth, titles, and military honors to enter into a morganatic marriage. When the revolution displaces them, they are separated as refugees. Alexandra eventually finds herself working as an opera singer in Vienna, forcing her to make a difficult choice about whether or not to reunite with her husband.
