    BÜRGERHÄUSER IN SALZBURG Editorial Geschichten hinter der Geschichte Die Auszeichnung „Weltkulturerbe“ wurde der Altstadt von Salzburg im Jahr 1996 von der UNESCO verliehen. Kirchliche und weltliche Bauten aus vielen Jahrhunderten, an beiden Ufern der Salzach gelegen und von den Stadtbergen umrahmt, bilden das einzigartige Salzburger Welterbe-Ensemble; fast tausend Gebäude mit ihrer Historie vom Mittelalter bis Heute gehören dazu. Hinter den Fassaden dieser Häuser stecken oft erstaunliche Geschichten, die beweisen, dass Tradition höchst lebendig ist - und immer schon in Bewegung war: Das kulturelle Erbe ist zugleich Teil unserer Gegenwart, und der sorgsame Umgang damit prägt unser Selbstverständnis als Stadt. Ich lade Sie herzlich ein, das Salzburger Weltkulturerbe im Heute zu erleben und auf den folgenden Seiten die „Geschichten hinter der Geschichte“ zu entdecken! The Old Town of Salzburg was granted the distinction “World Cultural Heritage” in 1996 by the UNESCO. Religious and secular buildings from various centuries on both sides of the Salzach, framed by the cities mountains constitute the unique World Heritage ensemble, amongst them up to thousand buildings with their history from the medieval times to this day. Surprising stories hide behind their facade, which show tradition is alive and has always been in motion. Our cultural heritage is also part of our present and treating it with care is important to us.

Legendary: Peter Alexander as head waiter Leopold in the cult comedy ‘The White Horse Inn.’ Congenial: Waltraut Haas as resolute and smart Rössl hostess Josepha Vogelhuber. Overwhelmingly beautiful: Lake Wolfgangsee with all its possibilities for recreation, relaxation and exercise. Majestic: The mountains with unforgettable views down to the lakes.

Experience the good life at the Weisses Rössl at Lake Wolfgangsee. 1 FOR MY RÖSSL GUESTS Dearest Rössl guests, there was already so much that I had wanted to tell you when we started “My Rössl” one year ago. I have so much to share about festivals at the Rössl and the year of legends at the Lake Wolfgangsee. Then a little virus came along that changed the whole world. What you now hold in your hands is our lifeblood. After all, on some days all we have left is our belief that the legendary Weisses Rössl, which has existed for over 500 years, will continue to do so for a long time to come. Our confidence is thanks to you and all of our guests. I would be remiss in not expressing my gratitude at this stage for your loyalty. Thank you to all of you who have been with us at Lake Wolf- gangsee these past weeks and finally gave us the opportunity to bring joy to people.

In this ground-breaking book, Derek B. Scott examines the cultural transfer of operetta from the German stage to Britain and the USA and offers a historical and critical survey of these operettas and their music. In the period 1900–1940, over sixty operettas were produced in the West End, and over seventy on Broadway. A study of these stage works is important for the light they shine on a variety of social topics of the period – from modernity and gender relations to new technology and new media – and these are investigated in the individual chapters. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core at doi.org/10.1017/9781108614306. derek b. scott is Professor of Critical Musicology at the University of Leeds.

  • Operetta After the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen a Dissertation
    Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Elaine Tennant Spring 2013 © 2013 Ulrike Petersen All Rights Reserved Abstract Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair This thesis discusses the political, social, and cultural impact of operetta in Vienna after the collapse of the Habsburg Empire. As an alternative to the prevailing literature, which has approached this form of musical theater mostly through broad surveys and detailed studies of a handful of well‐known masterpieces, my dissertation presents a montage of loosely connected, previously unconsidered case studies. Each chapter examines one or two highly significant, but radically unfamiliar, moments in the history of operetta during Austria’s five successive political eras in the first half of the twentieth century. Exploring operetta’s importance for the image of Vienna, these vignettes aim to supply new glimpses not only of a seemingly obsolete art form but also of the urban and cultural life of which it was a part. My stories evolve around the following works: Der Millionenonkel (1913), Austria’s first feature‐length motion picture, a collage of the most successful stage roles of a celebrated

It always ends with a fantastic organ improvisation on the theme of the « Kaiser » . But during the Summer of 1873, a serious cholera epidemic eventually drives Anton Bruckner out of Vienna.

At that intersection (also on the ground-floor of the same building) was the popular local grocery-store owned by Mister Friedrich Benisch (at Nummer 54 Poštovní Street) . He could, among others things, buy smoked meat, coffee, and paper. Bruckner enjoyed the quiet of his hotel-room, allowing him to polish-up the manuscripts of his 2nd and 3rd Symphonies which he hoped to present to Richard Wagner.
