Bavarian operetta

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bavarian operetta is a term for operettas that were premiered in Bavaria , originate from Bavarian composers or contain Bavarian local flavor.

history

In addition to the Viennese operettas , which were written around 1860, and the Berlin operettas , which developed at the end of the 19th century, operettas and singspiele by local composers and librettists were also created in Bavaria at the beginning of the 20th century . With a few exceptions, however, this genre was unable to match the success of its Viennese and Berlin predecessors. As a result, Bavarian operettas often did not last long in the theater repertoire.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Munich Gärtnerplatz Theater served mainly as a performance venue, although it often featured Viennese and Berlin operettas. There were about Theo Rupprecht Johannis Magic 1905 and Salvator 1912, or Franz Werther The Forbidden song premiered 1916th

The works of the Passau composer Erhard Kutschenreuter were successful in Lower Bavaria ( Der Hauptmann von Köpenick , first performed in Passau in 1907). The Holledauer Fidel (first performed in 1920) is still popular today. In 1939, Dorfmusikant by Anton Maly was published , a comedy operetta in Bavarian .

The composer Ludwig Schmidseder from Passau is a specialty . In addition to his successful Berlin operettas in the 1930s ( Melodie der Nacht , Frauen im Metropol ), he also created two Bavarian works, namely the revue operetta Eine Nacht für dich (premiered in 1941 Deutsches Theater München ), from which the well-known waltz Mein München comes, as well as returning home to Mittenwald in 1942 . The latter was performed on various stages until the 1950s and recorded by the Munich Radio Orchestra under Werner Schmidt-Boelcke . After the Second World War, Schmidseder composed mainly Viennese operettas ( waltz queen and farewell waltz ).

In the 1950s, a few works were made in Bavaria, e. B. by the composer Franz Xaver Lehner , although in keeping with the zeitgeist, these were often no longer referred to as operettas. As elsewhere, film and musicals gradually supplanted operettas. After 2000, new works were occasionally created by Franz Hummel and Christian Auer ( Der Kaiser im Rottal , premiered in 2007).
