Operetta as an extravagant response to the industrial revolution

You will visit the most flamboyant cafes from Maxim's to Bal Tabarin, where people dance the Charleston on the table and drink the most stimulating champagne. It was a time of opulence, prosperity and impressive inventions as a result of the Industrial Revolution.

Although some think that the operetta genre is superficial, this assumption is actually based on a misunderstanding. The characters' extravagant lifestyles - their tendency to excess and their desire for pleasure - is often humorously magnified. This is - contrary to what people think - precisely a criticism of the superficiality and emptiness of a life that is only about fun and frivolity. The champagne that flows freely does not represent vulgar pleasure, but a temporary escape from the raging industrial revolution.

Dancers

Anyone who visits this Operetta Salon can safely assure themselves of renewed love for the vibrant and still universal character of the operetta.
