Residenzstadt und Metropole
-
Marion Linhardt
About this book
In response to the onset of 'modernism' around 1900 we find in Vienna the emergence of the image of that city as the epitome of Gemütlichkeit and coziness. With its programmatic reference to the past (Alt-Wien) this image was the ideal counterpoint to the alarming social and cultural upheavals ravaging the metropolis at that point in time. This image was primarily disseminated and differentiated by popular musical theatre, notably its most important genre, the operetta. The present essay on the topography of popular musical theatre in Vienna points up the connections between theatrical entertainment and the urban setting.
Reviews
"Daß die Geschichte des Wiener Unterhaltungstheaters nicht ohne die Berücksichtigung jüdischer Protagonisten geschrieben werden kann, beweist diese Studie eindrücklich."
Daniel Jütte in: PaRDeS 13/2007
"...this outstanding addition to the distinguished 'Theatron' series is the most innovative contribution to Viennese theatre history to have appeared in print for half a century."
W. E. Yates in: Modern Language Review 103/2008
"Alles in allem haben wir es hier mit einem Werk zu tun, das Maßstäbe setzt...Dass Residenzstadt und Metropole als Band 50 in der renommierten Reihe Theatron erschienen ist, mag ein Zufall sein. Es ehrt aber den Verlag wie die Autorin: es ist tatsächlich ein ganz besonderes, ein 'Jubiläumsbuch'."
Walter Obermaier in: Nestroyana Nr. 27, 3-4/2007
