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.

JUNI 2016 IM STAATSTHEATER NÜRNBERG Konzeption und Leitung: Anno Mungen (Forschungsinstitut für Musiktheater der Universität Bayreuth) Johann Casimir Eule (Staatstheater Nürnberg) In Zusammenarbeit mit LEICHTE MUSE IM WANDEL DER ZEITEN : GRUSSWORT : LEICHTE MUSE IM WANDEL DER ZEITEN GRUSSWORT Wohl kaum eine Stadt in Deutschland ist mit der Ideologie des Natio- nalsozialismus so eng verbunden wie Nürnberg. Die damaligen Städtischen Bühnen waren bei den Reichsparteitagen durch ihre räumliche Nähe zu den täglichen Aufmärschen vor Adolf Hitlers Residenz im Hotel Deutscher Hof und durch Festaufführungen u. a. von „Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg“ Teil einer politischen Inszenierung und standen nicht nur in dieser Zeit im besonderen Blickpunkt der NS-Führung. Die Aufarbeitung dieser Zeit, der Verbindung von Politik und Kunst und damit der Rolle unseres Opernhauses in der NS-Diktatur ist uns ein großes Anliegen. Ich freue mich daher sehr, dass wir das Forschungsinstitut für Musik- theater Bayreuth und seinen Leiter Prof. Dr. Anno Mungen gewinnen konnten, ein Forschungsprojekt ins Leben zu rufen, das die Rolle des Theaters aber auch die Funktion von theatralen Inszenierungen in Nürnberg in der NS-Zeit untersuchen wird. Dieses Forschungsprojekt „Inszenierung von Macht und Unterhaltung. Propaganda und Musiktheater in Nürnberg 1920-1950“ wurde bereits 2014 ins Leben gerufen und erhielt 2016 die Zusage für eine Förderung durch die Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). In Zusammenarbeit zwi- schen dem Staatstheater Nürnberg, dem Forschungsinstitut für Musiktheater und dem Dokumentationszentrum Reichsparteitage werden die Ergebnisse 2018 in einer Ausstellung der Öffentlichkeit vorgestellt.

  • The Quest for Racial Purity: African Germans
    the quest for racial purity: Germans with Mental and Physical Disabilities, African Germans, and Roma rom the moment that hitler took power in germany, he began implementing his vision for a new Germany—one that elevated “Aryan” Germans to the top of the Nazis’ racial hierarchy and that ranked all other groups along a spectrum of relative inferiority. Nazi leaders wasted no time conceiving and adopting measures that would safeguard the “Aryan” German race, thereby ensuring that future genera- tions would be—in their eyes—racially pure, genetically healthy, and socially productive and loyal to the state. This goal meant, above all, stigmatizing, discriminating against, and ultimately killing those whom the Nazis identified as being biologically and racially flawed. In such a context, especially Jews (see chapter 5), but also Roma (Gypsies), people with mental and physical disabilities, and African Germans, faced direct and immediate danger at the hands of the Nazis. In time, the Nazi decision to go to war would advance those long-term goals in pre- viously unimaginable ways. Territorial acquisition went hand in hand with population engineering as the Nazis sought to increase the number of “Aryan” Germans while simul- taneously thinning the ranks of those they considered inferior by virtue of race or biology. The state of national emergency created by the war would eventually provide the pretext and cover for increasingly radical steps. Nazi racial persecution was unique, for there was no escape—not even for those who were German by birth—from the harsh verdict of inferiority. For those who were targeted, national loyalty or communal solidarity were of no consequence: only “Aryans” who met the racial and biological standards of the Nazis could claim membership in the National Community (Volksgemeinschaft).
