Legend has it that the composer Emmerich Kalman met a certain countess named Marica in Vara\u017edin after whom he not only named his famous operetta, but also dedicated to Vara\u017edin the most famous song from that part “Komm mit nach Vara\u017edin”. In addition to delighting audiences around the world for decades, his anthology operetta made Vara\u017edin, a city that has always been an inspiration to artists, famous. Many musicians sought and found inspiration in it, each in their own time shaping the city’s culture and building a rich musical heritage of which Vara\u017edin is proud.<\/p>
