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.

  • Offenbach Et L'opéra-Comique
    Offenbach et l’opéra-comique Lionel Pons avril 2017 Les rapports de Jacques Offenbach (1819-1880) avec le genre opéra-comique relèvent, tout au long de la vie créatrice du compositeur, d’un paradoxe amoureux. La culture lyrique d’Offenbach, son expérience en tant que violoncelliste dans l’orchestre de l’Opéra-Comique, son goût personnel pour ce genre si français, qui ne dissimule pas sa dette envers le dernier tiers du XVIIIe siècle vont nécessairement le pousser à s’intéresser au genre. Le répertoire de François Adrien Boieldieu (1775-1834), de Ferdinand Hérold (1791-1833), de Nicolò Isouard (1773-1818) lui est tout à fait familier, et quoique d’un esprit particulièrement mordant, il en apprécie le caractère sentimental et la délicatesse de touche. Et presque naturellement, il développe pourtant une conscience claire de ce que réclame impérativement la survie du genre. Offenbach sauveteur de l’opéra-comique ? L’opéra-comique, tel qu’Offenbach le découvre en ce début de XIXe siècle, est l’héritier direct des ouvrages d’André-Ernest-Modeste Grétry (1741-1813), de Pierre-Alexandre Monsigny (1729-1817) ou de Nicolas Dalayrac (1753-1809). Le genre est le fruit d’une période transitionnelle (il occupe dans le répertoire français la place chronologique du classicisme viennois outre Rhin, entre le crépuscule baroque et l’affirmation du romantisme), et reflète assez logiquement le goût de l’époque pour une forme de sentimentalité, sensible en France dans toutes les disciplines artistiques entre 1760 et 1789. Les gravures de Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725-1805), l’architecture du Hameau de Marie-Antoinette (1783-1876), due à Richard Mique (1728-1794), l’orientation morale de L’autre Tartuffe ou la mère coupable (1792) de Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais (1732-1799), La nouvelle Héloïse (1761) de Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) ou Paul et Virginie (1787) d’Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre (1737-1814) portent témoignage de cette tendance esthétique.

  • The Cosmopolitan Realism of Offenbach's La Vie Parisienne
    Writing the City: The Cosmopolitan Realism of Offenbach’s La Vie parisienne Jacek Blaszkiewicz As the curtain of Paris’s Théâtre du Palais Royal rose on October 31, 1866, spectators saw before them a mise-en-scène unprecedented in the city’s operatic history: a railway station—specifically the Gare de l’Ouest, one of Paris’s newest and busiest. A chorus marches onto the stage, announc- ing that they are the employees of the Ligne de l’Ouest rail company. Against an aggressive triple-meter orchestral accompaniment, the workers list off the names of the French cities and towns served by the company: Conflans, Triel, Poissy, Barentin, Pavilly, Vernon, Bolbec, etc. This list is doubly humorous. First, it captures the mechanical repetitiveness of the ever-expanding French railway system, rendered musically through an eleven-measure dominant prolongation in Bb major. Second, it pokes fun at mass-produced travel literature aimed specifically at tourists; the chorus, in essence, sings a version of the itineraries found in Lehaguez’s Le Nouveau paris: guide à l’étranger, a popular guidebook series that contained endless pages of station names in miniscule typescript. The workersfollow this list with a second: an account of various professional tasks, such as selling tickets and newspapers, opening and closing gates, and signaling incom- ing and outgoing rail traffic. These two lists are repeated twice, before the employees march off the stage, presumably back to work. The employees’ exit concludes the first vocal number of La Vie parisi- enne, an opéra-bouffe by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy with music by Jacques Offenbach.

  • Christopher Columbus
    CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS Music by Jacques Offenbach: book and lyrics by Don White: score compiled and edited by Patric Schmid SYNOPSIS This is the sort of operetta Offenbach might have written and uses much of the music he had intended for a work for America, together with other gems that lie hidden in unperformed Offenbach scores. The racy, witty and brilliantly zany story concerns the amorous adventures of the polygamous Columbus, who, against his will, is sent across the sea pursued by three wives and a fiancée to find the riches of the Indies. He unwittingly comes across an even greater treasure in the shape of a Cola nut, thus discovering not only a new world but one of America's greatest treasures, Coca Cola! Although not an adaptation, this work has been performed successfully by amateurs and is suitable for companies who perform opera or prefer original versions. THE STORY ACT ONE A Square in Cordova in 1492. The young ladies of Cordova, bored with snapping their castanets, shouting 'Ole', are delighted when Beatriz tells them she is engaged. The object of her affections, Christopher Columbus, explains to the young men of the town that he has discovered the art of seduction - marriage. We soon discover it is an art he has been practising all over Europe, for his past catches up with him in the shape of Rosa, Fleurette and Gretel, wives he has wooed, won and walked out on in Italy, France and Switzerland. Columbus tries to hide from this trio of termagents in the middle of a demonstration organised by the Round Earth Society, led by Luis de Torres.

  • Sir Hervé the Knight Errant Sets out to Conquer the Bouffes-Parisiens
    Pascal BLANCHET, « Sir Hervé the Kniht Errant sets out to conquer the Bouffes-Parisiens » Octobre 2015 Sir Hervé the Knight Errant sets out to conquer the Bouffes-Parisiens Pascal BLANCHET ‘It is one of my best scores, but the public doesn’t always crown the best things with success . .’ Such is the humble view expressed by Hervé in his Notes pour servir à l’histoire de l’opérette, a memoir he wrote in 1881 for the dramatic critic Francisque Sarcey. In the course of a long career marked by dazzling successes and resounding flops, the composer had had many opportunities to cultivate a philosophical frame of mind. The above quotation concerns his opéra-bouffe Alice de Nevers, but he might have said the same of Les Chevaliers de la Table ronde: Alice was a complete fiasco at its premiere in 1875, Les Chevaliers received a lukewarm reception when it was first given in 1866. In both cases, we are dealing with works that deserve to be reassessed – Hervé was right! Yes, these valiant Chevaliers who return today from a long exile are worthy of enjoying a rebirth. For the work is a more important one than it may at first seem. Why? Because it constitutes a turning point, not only in Hervé’s career but in the history of operetta: with it, the so-called ‘Crazy Composer’ (le Compositeur toqué), who is regarded as the father of operetta, wrote his first full-scale opéra-bouffe in three acts, and he intended it for the Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens, the stronghold of his rival Jacques Offenbach.
