Comments on: Offenbach’s Final Farewell: “Die Schöne Lurette” (1880) In Two DDR Versions http://operetta-research-center.org/offenbachs-final-farewell-die-schone-lurette-1880-two-ddr-versions/ The #1 Archive for Musical Theater Tue, 24 Feb 2026 19:54:13 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=3.9.40 By: Freddy http://operetta-research-center.org/offenbachs-final-farewell-die-schone-lurette-1880-two-ddr-versions/#comment-8288 Wed, 24 Jun 2020 10:37:13 +0000 http://operetta-research-center.org/?p=19159#comment-8288 Thank you for this excellent review! This makes keen on more rare Offenbach. My recommendation for an other funny erotic interpretation of the song The Blue Danube is the German version sung by Topsy Küppers. „Mein Vater war ein stiller Mann“ with chorus. https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/ernst-gunther-scherzer-renate-holm-dagmar-koller-topsy-kuppers-oskar-czerwenka-waldemar-kmentt/die-schonsten-melodien-von-jaques-offenbach/

PS: She sings also „Wo ist der Degen von Papa?“ from Die Großherzogin von Gerolstein, only for adults ears!!!

I grew up with the DEFA movie and loved it. This operetta is very underrated and so little known. Even though it is wonderful and definitly worth listening to. I’m very happy that you reviewd it and that now more people can find out about this masterpiece of Offenbach and enjoy it.

Strongly recommended for any Offenbach enthusiasts, operetta lovers and collectors. Reading this excellent review I´m also highly motivated to see the DVD
