Leányvásár

Leányvásár is a Hungarian operetta by Victor Jacobi with a libretto by Miklós Bródy and Ferenc Martos. It was premiered on 14 November 1911 at the Király Színház (King Theater) in Budapest. It was adapted several times, as The Marriage Market in 1913 and Szibill/Sybil in 1914, both of which versions had several successful productions,[1] and as Jack in Spanish.

The operetta has also been adapted to the screen multiple times. The first adaptation was a 1919 silent film, Leányvásár, directed by Antal Forgács (1881–1930), which used the libretto by Bródy and Martos as the basis for its story.[2] A 1941 Hungarian-language sound film of the same name included the score by Jacobi. It starred Zita Szeleczky as Gergely Lucy, János Sárdy as Dr. Haday Péter, and Manyi Kiss as Biri, and was directed by Félix Podmaniczky.[3] The operetta was adapted again into a 1985 Hungarian-language television film, also titled Leányvásár, which starred the actress Adél Kováts as Lucy Harryson with the singing voice of Lucy being dubbed by opera singer Magda Kalmár.[4]
