- This monograph explores the cultural transfer of operetta from the German stage to Britain and the USA, offering a comprehensive historical and critical survey of the period 1900–1940 in which over 60 operettas were produced in the West End, and over 70 on Broadway. The examination of these stage works contributes to knowledge on important social topics: modernity, cosmopolitanism, gender relations, transnational business networks, and new technology. It revises understanding of distinctions between Viennese and Berlin operetta and provides new insights into the concepts and production systems of operetta that complicate and add to previous accounts of the genre.
