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.

    Volkswirtschaft und Theater: Ernst und Spiel, Brotarbeit und Zirkus, planmäßige Geschäftigkeit und Geschäftlichkeit und auf der anderen Seite Unterhaltung und Vergnügen! Und doch hat eine jahrhundertelange Entwicklung ein Band, beinahe eine Kette zwischen beiden geschaffen, gehämmert und geschmiedet. Max Epstein1 The public has for so long seen theatrical amusements carried on as an industry, instead of as an art, that the disadvantage of apply- ing commercialism to creative work escapes comment, as it were, by right of custom. William Poel2 4. Theatergeschäft Theater als Geschäft – das scheint heute zumindest in Deutschland, wo fast alle Theater vom Staat subventioniert werden, ein Widerspruch zu sein. Doch schon um 1900 waren für die meisten deutschen Intellektuellen Geschäft und Theater, Kunst und Kommerz unvereinbare Gegensätze. Selbst für jemanden, der so inten- siv und über lange Jahre hinweg als Unternehmer, Anwalt und Journalist mit dem Geschäftstheater verbunden war wie Max Epstein, schlossen sie einander letztlich aus. Obwohl er lange gut am Theater verdient hatte, kam er kurz vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg zu dem Schluss: „Das Theatergeschäft hat die Bühnenkunst ruiniert“.3 In Großbritannien hingegen, wo Theater seit der Zeit Shakespeares als private, kommerzielle Unternehmen geführt wurden, war es völlig selbstverständlich, im Theater eine Industrie zu sehen. Der Schauspieler, Direktor und Dramatiker Wil- liam Poel bezeugte diese Haltung und war zugleich einer der ganz wenigen, der sie kritisierte. Wie auch immer man den Prozess bewertete, Tatsache war, dass Theater in der Zeit der langen Jahrhundertwende in London wie in Berlin überwiegend kom- merziell angeboten wurde. Zwar gilt dies teilweise bereits für die frühe Neuzeit, erst im Laufe des 19.

    1920 1 MEDORAH London run: Alhambra, January 22 nd – March 13 th (60 performances) Music: Vada Ennem Book & Lyrics Denn Spranklin English adaptation: Rupert Hazell English lyrics : Adrian Ross Additional numbers : John Ansell Director: E. Dagnell Choreographer: Will Bishop Musical Director : John Anstell Cast: Leo Stormont ( Sultan), Ada Reeve (Medorah), W.S. Percy ( Dadoolah), Jamieson Dodds (Vernon Grant ), Leslie Stiles ( Ambassador Manston), Margaret Campbell ( Mrs Manston) Songs: Tomorrow’s Another Day, There’s Always a Drawback, Like a Dream. Wonderful Joy, Hope Again, Love and My Soul Alone Story: In Caravanistan beauty is measured in physical bulk, the heavier the better. The Sultan’s eldest daughter, Medorah, is thin, too thin to be an eligible bride. Chancellor Dadoolah suggests she is sent to America for the purposes of putting on weight – a suggestion that delights her because she has fallen in love with Vernon Grant, the man who accompanied the American ambassador and his wife to a reception in the Sultan’s palace. They meet again in Washington, and when she is summoned back to Caravanistan , Vernon secretly follows. Meantime, after various adventures, Vernon is captured and forced to work as a slave in the Sultan’s household. With no hope of marrying his underweight daughter to a prince, the Sultan condemns her to marry his new slave – and thus Medorah and Vernon are happily united. Notes: The original publicity declared that “Medorah” was jointly produced by Mr. Bernard J. Hishin and Sir Oswald Stoll, but within a week of opening, the show was subject to a legal dispute in the Court of Chancery, with Violet Melnotte claiming (and winning) half-ownership in the copyright of the English version of this Dutch original.

  • Ernst Rolf V\344Gvisare Reviderad
    Vägvisare till Ernst Rolf Register till Falu kommuns Ernst Rolf-samling Sammanställd av Elisabet Hemström Reviderad upplaga Utgiven av Falu kommun, kultur- och ungdomsförvaltningen 2008 3 FÖRORD I år är det 30 år sedan Falu kommuns Ernst Rolf-samling började byggas upp. Till stor del består den av ett antal separata, donerade eller inköpta, samlingar, som fått förbli samman- hållna. Den första donerades till Falu stadsbibliotek 1978 av f. d. falubon Bertil Aspman (1911- 2002), då bosatt i Övertorneå. Han hade låtit binda in sina Rolfnoter i 18 svarta och blåa band med guldtryck. Detta betraktar vi som vår ”grundsamling”, vilket har inneburit att de enstaka nothäften som vi senare har köpt och fått också har införlivats med den, men i gröna band. Alla dessa volymer (hittills 27 st) har alltså titeln ”Bertil Aspmans samling”. Nästa stora samling köptes från teatermannen Haakon B. Nielsons dödsbo i Oslo 1984. Nielson hade samlat på allt om Ernst Rolf och bl. a. sammanställt ett antal vackra album om revykungens liv. Sina noter hade han delat upp i 9 volymer i kronologisk ordning, med anknytning till de olika revyerna, och lagt dem i kartongomslag. Dessa noter har sedermera bundits in i röda band med Nielsons rubriker på. I Nielsons samling ingick även ett stort antal vishäften och revyprogram. För att i möjligaste mån fylla luckorna i dessa samlingar gjordes efterforskningar efter Rolf- noter hos alla större bibliotek och arkiv och kopior beställdes av det vi saknade. Därför finns mindre samlingar med kopior av notblad från Kungliga Biblioteket, SKAP:s arkiv, Svenskt musikhistoriskt arkiv och Teatermuseet i Eskilstuna.

Go home or face arrest.’ These mobile billboards declared the number of arrests that had taken place ‘in your area’ in the previous week and provided a number to which people could text the message ‘HOME’ to initiate voluntary repatriation. In 2016, Theresa May, who had organised this scheme as home secretary, became prime minister, following the upheaval caused by the country’s plebiscite to leave the European Union. One of the main strands of argument of the successful ‘Brexit’ campaign centred on the ‘deep public anxiety … about uncontrolled immigration’2 and promised to reduce numbers of immigrants to the country.
