The Talk of the Town

This summer I’m reading The Operetta Empire: Music Theater in Early 20th C. Vienna

Fascinating account of the role of musical theater in an uneasy context of art emerging from the conflict and resolutions of high culture and popular sentimentality in an era where elites were challenged by political instability.
