Boy meets girl. Boy is forced to leave girl. Boy... well, you'll see how it ends soon enough. What makes the play, operetta, really, unique and beloved, is its music, and the uncanny ability of the music to catch the spirit and emotions of an era long past and make them live again. How did this come to happen? Sigmund Romberg was born in Hungary in 1887, studied music in Vienna when the' world lived for Viennese music, and then moved to New York in 1911. By 1924 he had written the music for 32 shows, none of them memorable. But then, with his father critically ill and himself about to be married, he felt a complusion to prove that he was a composer of merit. He borrowed material from his own background in Europe: his student days, his own devoted mentor, his brief affair with a barmaid, and his family ties with the aristocracy, and wove them into a lush musical tapestry. It was a peak he would never duplicate despite his efforts through 33 more musical scores. Enough history. Sit back and let the music sweep you into the past. The present will return all too soon. _ Ri ••.•J( 1=111 RICK RUDY, Director Rick Rudy has directed shows for a great many theatrical groups in the Valley area, including "Yeoman of the Guard", "The Gondoliers" and "Trial By Jury" for the Gilbert and Sullivan Society of San Jose.

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.

    The Student Prince in Old Heidelberg (1927) Performing Live: Neil Brand Friday Night Gala: 23 March 2018

    The Student Prince in Old Heidelberg (1927) Performing live: Neil Brand Friday Night Gala: 23 March 2018 In 1899 Wilhelm Meyer-Forster published his novel Karl Heinrich about the impossible love between a crown prince and an innkeeper's daughter. He made it into a play Alt- Heidelberg in 1901. Two years later the play opened in New York in a translation by Rudolf Bleichmann, Old Heidelberg. A film adaptation directed by John Emerson and starring Wallace Reid and Dorothy Gish came out in 1915. A German film version was made in 1923 by Hans Behrendt, with Paul Hartmann and Eva May. An operetta version by Dorothy Donnelly and Sigmund Romberg, The Student Prince, opened in New York in 1924, breaking all box-office records. Noting its success, in 1926 MGM decided to make a film of it directed by Ernst Lubitsch. MGM secured Hans Kraly, Lubitsch's regular scenarist, to make the screen adaptation and chose two of their biggest stars for the principal roles. The romantic Ramon Novarro, who had just played the lead in Ben-Hur, was ideally cast as the Crown Prince. But the casting of Norma Shearer, wife of MGM's 'boy wonder' Irving Thalberg, proved troublesome. The usually genial Lubitsch protested saying she was too grandly mannered for the part. An extract from Sam Marx's book Mayer and Thalberg describes what happened when Thalberg and Shearer returned from honeymoon and Shearer began work on the set: “Mein Gott,” Lubitsch shouted. “I can get a waitress from the commissary who will do better than you!” The tearful star asked that Thalberg be called to the set.

    Exoticism and Auto-Exoticism in Opera and Operetta

    HStud 27 (2013)2, 291–311 DOI: 10.1556/HStud.27.2013.2.7 TURKS, HUNGARIANS, AND GYPSIES ON STAGE: EXOTICISM AND AUTO-EXOTICISM IN OPERA AND OPERETTA LYNN HOOKER Indiana University, IN, USA E-mail: [email protected] The tradition of European “classical music” has long evoked the exotic, and two of the most prominent exotic referents in that tradition are the Middle East, first and foremost the Turk, and the Hungarian Gypsy, raising the questions of how these “exotic” traditions are related, and what their comparison might tell us about the idea of musical exoticism more broadly. In this essay, I briefly survey the “Turkish style” and its use in Classical-period opera; discuss its replacement by Hungar- ian-Gypsy style in the nineteenth century; and finally examine the interesting juxta- position of Turkish and Hungarian-Gypsy topics in two fin-de-siècle Central Euro- pean operettas, Der Zigeunerbaron by the Austrian Johann Strauss Jr. and Gül baba by the Hungarian Jenõ Huszka. An examination of these works and their reception reveals fissures between the Viennese and Budapest versions of operettas featuring “exotic” topics and characters, and between the operetta industries in the two cities. These details offer a fascinating look at the dividing line between exoticism and auto-exoticism and at the significance of references to Turkish and Hungar- ian-Gypsy topics in the Central European cultural climate of this period – in short, a reconsideration of what it means to be Hungarian, and for whom. Keywords: Hungarian music, exoticism, auto-exoticism, Hungarian-Gypsy style, Turkish style (alla turca), operetta, Johann Strauss Jr., Jenõ Huszka The tradition of European “classical music” has long evoked the exotic: “linking [works] to some especially fascinating, attractive, or fearsome place: to an Else- where and, usually, to its inhabitants and their supposed inclinations and ways” (Locke, 2009, 1).

His last two films in Germany were financed with American money; arriving in Hollywood at the end of 1922, he brought other German artists and technicians with him and sent for more over the course of the decade. Lubitsch used European—mostly Central European—plays and operettas as the basis of his American films, and he followed the German cinema closely in the 1920s, imitating technical innovations and popular genres, meanwhile publishing articles in the trade journals in Germany. In 1927 he made his first silent operetta film, which was also his first American film set in Germany: The Student Prince in Old Heidelberg, a film meant to compete with similar films being made in Germany. In discussing this film, I will demonstrate that it is not only transnational in terms of the movements mentioned above of artists, technicians, ideas, styles, and genres back and forth across the Atlantic, but also because of the ethnic, gender, and sexual politics of the film and its production itself.
