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
