Gypsy Love, sometimes spelled Gipsy Love, (German: Zigeunerliebe) is an operetta in three acts by Franz Lehár with a German-language libretto by Alfred Willner and Robert Bodanzky. Premiered in Vienna in 1910, the operetta's plot centres on the daughter of a Romanian landowner who is engaged to a young nobleman but is attracted to a Romani violinist, her intended's half-brother; complications ensue at her engagement party, and she sees her future in a dream. The brooding, romantic story is accompanied by a score that focuses on dance music. Gypsy Love has been translated into various languages. In 1910 the operetta had its first performance outside Austria in Budapest in Hungarian. The piece continues to be played regularly in Eastern Europe.
