A cigánykirály [The Gypsy King] – was a 1927 Hungarian operetta created in memory of Bihari János the celebrated Hungarian Gypsy violinist and song writer who lived from 1764 until 1827. The operetta was created for the 100th anniversary of Bihari’s death. In 1928 local press described the operetta as: „Hungarian through and through”, „a perfect performance. Revue-like spectacular. Captivating costume. Ballet and dance attractions. Music that speaks to the heart. A pageant of Esterházy hussars and hussar chorus girls. Laughter nonstop from 7:30-10:30”. By Lengyel Emese.
