Shortly after its premiere, this fairytale-like blend of historical epic, melodrama and comedy was banned in Germany by the Nazis due to its “non-Aryan” leading lady, Elisabeth Bergner. In this ballet-styled production, Bergner plays a German princess who, between military parades and revolution, grows into a cunning Russian czarina.
