Experts agree that operetta is the secret supreme discipline of musical theater, as it is considered a socio-political mirror of the society of its time.
After Offenbach's operetta successes, who made himself the father of the genre with his colourful and imaginative works, a veritable flood of operettas swept across Europe. The operetta dreamed loudly of freedom and equality; packaged in rousing music, garnished with wordplay and dance.
During the Nazi dictatorship, the works of Jewish librettists and composers were banned from the stages as "degenerate". However, operetta managed to emerge from the cocoon like a butterfly and return to glitz and glamor.
This operetta revue features works by Johann Strauss, Franz Lehár, Eduard Künneke, Franz von Suppè, Julius Fučík, Carl Millöcker and Emmerich Kálmán in the tried-and-tested production by the Detmold State Theatre.
