As a legacy of the Habsburg Empire, performances of Jacques
Offenbach's musical stage works played an important role in
Budapest musico-theatrical life in the twentieth century. However,
between the collapse of the Empire and the 1956 anti-Soviet
revolution, political ideologies strongly influenced the character
of these productions, when they took place. Public performances of
Offenbach's works were prohibited between 1938 and 1945 and they
became the bases for propagandadistic adaptations in the 1950s.
This element explores how the local operetta tradition and the
vogue of operettas featuring composers as characters during the
interwar period were also important factors in how Offenbach's
stage works were performed in mid-twentieth century Budapest in
versions that sometimes bore little resemblance to the originals.
