The bourgeois gentilhomme and his system of values defined the development of the European spirit until the end of the 18th century. The unmatched success of Figaro, the barber of Seville, also shows how the audience's reaction has a great effect in shaping and altering the artistic intentions and methods of the composer and the theatrical creator. In the third part of our series, we venture forth into the period when light Italian opera buffa dissolved into the carefree and often scintill...ating social and society life of Paris and Vienna. Propelled to the foreground now is the entertainment function of musical theatre - newly minted bourgeoisie in their masses seem to turn away from serious art offering profound insights. The emergence of national operas also somewhat narrowed the genre's scope of influence - and this resulted in the birth of operetta, a genre that went on to take Europe by storm.
The company from the musical actor course performs this task with ease: prima donnas, soubrettes, bon vivants and dancing comedians, the idealised figures of an era that is not long gone, appear in this adventure through operetta history, with its well-known Hungarian motifs.
