...countess conquers and is conquered in love. After all these years and years of nobility in difficult incognito, those who still relish such fare will find the Countess Maritza thoroughly edifying, highly seasoned with color and music, harmoniously staged. The same romantically inclined folk will overlook, in the general glamor, a turbulent succession of flat puns and desperate buffoonery.
