It is significant that in the introduction to the book “Operette zwischen Bravour und Banalität” the Operetten-Handbuch of Volker Klotz is not even mentioned. It is so easy to push old kings off the throne after having benefited of their ideas and pioneer work.

If that is his idea of looking back at the glorious past of the art form, I am shocked. Where is the subversive side of operetta he holds so dear?
