The Luxurious Life (Template:Lang-tr) is a 1933 Turkish operetta by composer Cemal Reşit Rey. The librettist was his brother, Ekrem Reşit Rey [tr], and the story is based on criticism of the nouveau riche groups in newly established Turkish Republic. The three-act operetta starts when a thief Rıza is accidentally thought to be a wealthy man (Rıza Bey) with the same name from Zonguldak in a ball. The story portrays the life of the new rich of 1930's Turkey and their indifference to the economic problems of the rest of the society.[1]

It is one of the most successful and viewed Turkish operettas.[2]
