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.

(It was either that, or "Say, why is everything either at Sixes or at Sevens?" because things in the Cole Household have been at multiples of 13 all over the place. But be that as it may.) Recently, during a discussion of drama with someone marginally familiar with the Gilbert and Sullivan operas, he remarked that they were too smart for their own good; that, from what he had read, the Jesse Helms-types would never have let them be performed. I responded that, I don't know about the ultra-conservatives, but these days, when a parody of Gone With the Wind is legally mistaken for a sequel, two (and possibly three or four) of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas would never have made it to the stage at all. There's Princess Ida ("A respectful per-version of Tennyson's The Princess"), Yeomen of the Guard (which had a lot of similarity with an earlier opera Maritana), possibly Sorcerer (with themes similar to those in L'Elisir D'Amore). And then there are the "digs" at well-known personalities in Pinafore and Patience. And, of course, there's the well-documented fears of "political incorrectness" at various times with Mikado. So isn't it great that Gilbert and Sullivan produced their work when they did: just think of all the joy that work wouldn't have been able to provide if they had tried to present it before or after Queen Victoria's Glorious (and what appear to be artistically generous) Days.

TURN OF THE CENTURY BRITISH MUSICAL COMEDY IN AN AMERICAN PERFORMANCE LIBRARY by Victoria Peters A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Music at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee May 2018 ABSTRACT TURN OF THE CENTURY BRITISH MUSICAL COMEDY AND THIER USE IN AN AMERICAN PERFORMANCE LIBRARY by Victoria Peters The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2018 Under the Supervision of Professor Gillian Rodger The genre label 'musical comedy' gained its stride in the 1920s, but the term emerged as early as the 1870s. These early musical comedies are often overlooked in the historical discussion of musical theater, due to a lack of integration between the storyline and musical numbers. With the help of the Tams-Witmark collection, housed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Mills Music Library, this paper examines how two of these early musical comedies, composed by England’s Ivan Caryll and Sidney Jones, were exported and used by touring theater companies in The United States.

LINEAGES of VOCAL PEDAGOGY in AUSTRALIA, 1850-1950 Volume 2
LINEAGES OF VOCAL PEDAGOGY IN AUSTRALIA, 1850-1950 Volume 2 by Beth Mary Williams A dissertation submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The University of Melbourne September 2002 11 Lineages of Vocal Pedagogy in Australia The following is an introductory lineage study of major lineages of vocal pedagogy in Australia. Many lineages not contained in the body of the thesis are outlined in this document. The lineage also provides a cursory glance at the major lineages of traditional Italian pedagogy which have relevance for an Australian vocal pedagogical context, and it was hoped that this might assist readers in ascertaining the long term lineage links without excessive complication. The symbol'-' indicates that the following is separated from what is immediately above, and that a new lineage has begun. Lineages are indicated as subsequent generations by the use of one tab space, to show that the following names are pupils of the aforementioned. Naturally, lists of students of particular teachers are far from complete, and some only represent one particularly successful pupil of a given teacher. Where possible dates and biographical information are given, in order to contextualise the work of a singer or teacher. The documentation of lineages is not exhaustive. Many teachers who were active between 1850 and 2000 are omitted owing to the difficulties in finding information on private studios through archival resources and the reluctance of many present teachers to participate in surveys. The following is a sample three-generation entry, with an explanation of how the lineage may be understood: ~ (Separates different schools of singers.) Joe Bloggs (The teacher/s of the following bold name.) Joe Green (The teacher/singer under consideration.) Tenor, born in 1889, Green performed extensively with the Eastside Liedertafel.

This article argues that theatre in colonial India – both in the form of touring companies and amateur dramatics – offered much more than mere entertainment: ﬁrst, it was an important social space where the British diaspora constituted itself as a community. Secondly, it served as a lifeline to the home country. By watching theatrical performances either brought to them straight from London or which they performed themselves, colonial Britons felt in touch with their homeland. Finally, theatre not only allowed colonial audiences to participate in the metropolitan culture; it inadvertently helped to unify the British empire. Whether living in London, the provinces, or a colonial city, all British subjects consumed the same popular culture, forming in effect one big taste community.

Introduction Len Platt, Tobias Becker and David Linton
Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-05100-3 - Popular Musical Theatre in London and Berlin: 1890–1939 Edited by Len Platt, Tobias Becker and David Linton Excerpt More information Introduction Len Platt, Tobias Becker and David Linton After the Girl – by way of a prescript Several months before the outbreak of the First World War, a new piece of popular musical theatre opened at the Gaiety Theatre in London’s West End. After the Girl told the story of Doris Pitt, the daughter of a Cincinnati millionaire sent to Brussels to complete her education. When her father arrives on a visit in Paris, he finds her ‘corrupted’ and determines to send her back home. Doris, however, has other ideas. Pursued by an anxious father, she runs away – first to a school friend in Amsterdam, then to Budapest and then on to Berlin, where Mr Pitt finally catches up with her. She is performing as a singer in a variety hall. Father and daughter are eventually reconciled, and the show ends with them celebrating the New Year at the Carlton Hotel in New York. After the Girl reads like a comment on popular theatre before the First World War. Although it appears to be a musical comedy in most respects, its title and subtitle signify distance from that genre. The show takes on the dimensions of a hybrid commodity, becoming a ‘Revusical Comedy’. Its writers acknowledge the form, which had been dominant across Europe and America since the 1890s, but at the same time emphatically identify the new show with revue, the rising genre popular on the Continent and in New York since the early 1900s, but which did not start to gain real momentum in London until shortly before the outbreak of the First World War.
