World of Operette

The world of operetta: glamor, celebrities and show business. What is now the film industry was once the Operetta theater, to which people flocked in large numbers in search of entertainment,  novelties and scandals about their stars.

Glamour and glitter defined productions that were never dusty and old-fashioned, but socially critical in the formative period of the 1920s; amusing and frivolous and the performers were superstars and the advertising media. The Viennese operetta also made an appearance on Broadway and was a unique export item of Austrian culture.
