The Land of Smiles (Das Land des Lächelns) is a 'romantic' operetta in three acts by Franz Lehár. The German libretto was by Ludwig Herzer and Fritz Löhner.
This was one of Lehár's later works, and has a bittersweet ending which the Viennese loved. The title refers to the Chinese custom of smiling, whatever happens in life. (The leading character, Prince Sou-Chong has a song early in the show, Immer nur lächeln (Always smiling) which describes this.)
