Those whose thoughts of musical theatre are dominated by the
Broadway musical will find this book a revelation. From the 1850s
to the early 1930s, when urban theatres sought to mount glamorous
musical entertainment, it was to operetta that they turned. It was
a form of musical theatre that crossed national borders with ease
and was adored by audiences around the world. This collection of
essays by an array of international scholars examines the key
figures in operetta in many different countries. It offers a
critical and historical study of the widespread production of
operetta and of the enthusiasm with which it was welcomed.
Furthermore, it challenges nationalistic views of music and
approaches operetta as a cosmopolitan genre. This Cambridge
Companion contributes to a widening appreciation of the music of
operetta and a deepening knowledge of the cultural importance of
operetta around the world.
