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

The Best of Operetta Vol. 1
The Best of Operetta Vol. 1 Der Zigeunerbaron P'he Gypsy Baron) Das Land des Lachelns :The Land of Smiles) Die lustige Witwe me Merry Widow) and others The Best of Operetta Vol. 1 Operetta developed in the second half of the nineteenth century from very similar antecedents, the opQa comique of France and the more light-hearted Singspiel of German-speaking countries. In Paris Offenbach, son of a Cologne synagogue cantor, established himself with his series of operas bouffes and it was initally with performances of these in Vienna that the genre took root there, inspiring work by Supp6 and, at the earlier suggestion of Offenbach himself, Johann Strauss. Viennese operetta was inessence coterminouswith theHabsburg Empire. After 1918 Berlin assumed the position once held by Vienna in operetta, and as popular musical tastes diverged more and more with the passing of time, the genre became something of the past, displaced by the commercial produrk of Broadway and its imitators. The first volume of The Best of Operetta includes excerpts from operettas by Joham Strauss, Franz LeMr and Imre Mlmh. Strauss himself had followed his father's example, in spite of the latter's expressed desire, establishing his own dance-orchestra and later recruitinghistwo younger brothers, Josef and Eduard, into the family enterprise. The Strauss reputation extended far beyond the confines of Vienna and Straws orchestras appeared in different cities of Europe, providing an entertainment that suited very well the spirit of the time. Johann Strauss first turnedhisattention to operetta partly at the suggestionofOffenbach and more immediately at the urging of his first wife, the singer Henriette Chaputzky.

People's Life and Music in Vienna in Early 20Th Century
People's Life and Music in Vienna in early 20th Century Yoshio MASUDA and Elisabeth HUBL* (*Department of Chemistry, University of Vienna) Vienna is a unique city in Europe, located in the "Mitteleuropa," the former territory of the Habsburg Empire. It was the center of politics and culture, keeping the throne of Holy Roman Empire of Germany for several hundred years, dominating the whole of Ger many, until the Napoleon War early in 19th century. In fact, Viennese culture devel oped afterward through the century, as can be seen in science, literature, philosophy, arts, music, etc., It was the case after the Empire had lost its political influence on the whole Europe, therefore the time, the 19th century, being called "Golden Autumn"(H. Spiel, 1987). It is said that the 19 th century continued until 1914 in Vienna, when World War I broke out. Kaiser Franz-Josef ascended the throne in 1848 during the time of revolution and stayed as Kaiser even after the unification of all Germany by Prussia, until 1916 when he died. It thus can be said that the period of Kaiser Franz-Josef was the high time for Vienna which, under hard situation of wars and revolutions, fostered its unparalleled culture. In order to look at this unique Viennese culture, we describe Wienerlieder and related music and discuss them in connection with people in Vienna during the time of turning of the century until Anschluss. 1. Wiener Lieblinge aus seinerzeit. In 1934 there was a song "Der Doktor Lueger hat mir die Hand gereicht (Once Doc tor Lueger gave me his hand)'' which was among "Wiener Lieblinge von seinerzeit" sung by the people of Vienna at the time.

Strauss Johann
STRAUSS JOHANN Johann Strauss (figlio) (Neubau, 25 ottobre 1825 – Vienna, 3 giugno 1899) è stato un compositore e direttore d'orchestra austriaco. 1 Riconosciuto come uno dei più importanti musicisti di ogni epoca, Strauss è principalmente noto per la sua attività di compositore di musica da ballo e di operette. Figlio primogenito del compositore Johann Strauss padre, Johann Strauss è stato il più celebre membro di una famiglia di musicisti che, per quasi un secolo, dominò le scene musicali viennesi. La sua fama è legata soprattutto ai suoi valzer, alcuni dei quali ancora oggi celeberrimi, come Wiener Bonbons, Künstlerleben, Geschichten aus dem Wienerwald, Wein, Weib und Gesang, Wiener Blut, Rosen aus dem Süden, Frühlingsstimmen, Kaiser-Walzer e, quello che viene considerato il valzer più famoso di tutti i tempi, An der schönen blauen Donau (Sul bel Danubio blu); per questo motivo a Strauss è stato universalmente riconosciuto l'appellativo di "Re del Valzer". Fra le altre danze della sua lunga produzione (la lista delle sue opere comprende circa 500 composizioni fra valzer, polke, marce e quadriglie) vale la pena di menzionare Annen-Polka, Leichtes Blut, Éljen a Magyar!, Pizzicato Polka (scritta a quattro mani col fratello Josef), Auf der Jagd! e la Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka. Strauss seppe distinguersi anche nel campo dell'operetta arrivando a comporne sedici nell'arco di poco meno di trent'anni. Il suo più grande successo l'ottenne con Die Fledermaus (Il Pipistrello) che, ancora oggi, è considerata il culmine di quel periodo musicale che venne rinominato Goldene Operettenära (Era d'oro dell'operetta viennese). Suoi fratelli furono i compositori Josef ed Eduard Strauss.

Johann Strauß Und Was Coburg Von Ihm Geblieben Ist. 28. April Bis 10
Ausstellung: "Ab nach Wien ...": Johann Strauß und was Coburg von ihm geblieben ist. 28. April bis 10. Juli 2006 Verehrliher Magistrat! Besondere Verhältnisse machen es mir wünschenswerth mein Heimathrecht in der Stadt Wien aufzugeben und das deutsche Reichsbürgerrecht zu erwerben. Zu diesem Behufe wünsche ich mich für die Zukunft in der freundlichen Stadt Coburg unter der Regierung des kunstsinnigen Herzogs Ernst niederzulassen … Hiermit erlaube ich mir gehorsamste Bitte auszusprechen, dass der verehrliche Magistrat mir das Bürgerrecht der Stadt Coburg gütigst verleihen … möge. Johann Strauß an den Coburger Magistrat Vorwort Nach der Trennung von seiner zweiten Frau Angelica (Lilli), geb. Dittrich, 1882 lernt Johann Strauß die Witwe Adele Strauß, geb. Deutsch, kennen.Weil im katholischen Österreich eine Wiederverheiratung nicht möglich ist, tritt er 1886 zum Protestantismus über, beantragt die Staatsbürgerschaft des Herzogtums Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha und bittet Herzog Ernst II. um Gewährung der Ehescheidung. 1887 wird er Staatsbürger von Sachsen- Coburg und Gotha, verlegt seinen Wohnsitz nach Coburg, und seine kirchenrechtlich immer noch existierende Ehe wird rechtsgültig geschieden. Am 15. August findet die standesamtliche Trauung im Coburger Rathaus statt, anschließend die kirchliche Trauung in der Schlosskirche. Kurz darauf verlässt er Coburg und kommt nicht wieder. Am 1.9.1887 wird in das Melderegister eingetragen: „Ab nach Wien.“ Was Coburg von Johann Strauß geblieben ist, zeigt die Ausstellung im Vorsaal der Landesbibliothek anhand
