It would be hard to find a legendary figure in the turbulent past of our national history such as Queen Elizabeth Wittelsbach, the most beautiful lady in the royal courts of Europe, who was considered Hungarian by the Hungarians despite her Bavarian origins, they loved her with devotion and enthroned her into their hearts.

The beautiful queen of the Hungarians, nicknamed Sisi, is struggling with the inhumanly rigid etiquette of the House of Habsburg: her husband, who is preoccupied with the aggravating problems of the empire, neglects her, her mother-in-law's tyranny ruins her everyday life, she cannot raise her children and cannot even pursue her hobbies.

She feels at home in Italy and Hungary, learns Hungarian perfectly and maintains a close personal relationship with the Hungarian peers, especially with the Andrássy family and Ferenc Deák. According to the unanimous opinion of many historians, "Elizabeth pressed the ruler with her feminine tools to prepare a compromise with the Hungarians."

After the romantic novels and films about the life of Sisi, Tamás Topolánszky, the director of GG Dance Eger, adapted the life of the young princess to stage, who, born under the lucky star, was initially a cloudlessly happy empress and queen of Hungary, later shackled and careworn, and whose life was abruptly cut short tragically on the shore of Lake Geneva.
