";When the world comes to an end,"; Viennese writer Karl Kraus lamented in 1908, ";all the big city orchestras will still be playing The Merry Widow."; Viennese operettas like Franz Leh©?r's The Merry Widow were preeminent cultural texts during the Austro-Hungarian Empire's final years. Alternately hopeful and nihilistic, operetta staged contemporary debates about gender, nationality, and labor. The Operetta Empire delves into this vibrant theatrical culture, whose creators simultaneously sought the respectability of high art and the popularity of low entertainment. Case studies examine works by Leh©?r, Emmerich K©?lm©?n, Oscar Straus, and Leo Fall in light of current musicological conversations about hybridity and middlebrow culture. Demonstrating a thorough mastery of the complex early twentieth-century Viennese cultural scene, and a sympathetic and redemptive critique of a neglected popular genre, Micaela Baranello establishes operetta as an important element of Viennese cultural life ?one whose transgressions helped define the musical hierarchies of its day.
