About Die kleine Niederdorfoper
Farmer Heiri has sold his calf and celebrates his temporary wealth in the big city. But in doing so he is confronted with many temptations and dangers: pickpockets, second-rate artists and prostitutes who all try to grab the money of this naive man from Hausen. A 1978 recording of the well-known Zurich boulevard theatre piece.
Directed by Jörg Schneider, Die kleine Niederdorfoper leans on a strong ensemble — Ruedi Walter, Margrit Rainer, Ines Torelli — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1978.
