Operette (musical)
''Operette'' is a musical in two acts composed, written and produced by Noël Coward. The show is a period piece, set in the year 1906 at the fictional "Jubilee" theatre. The story concerns an ageing Viennese operetta star, who warns the young ingenue not to marry a nobleman.
The piece premiered in 1938. Coward's attempt to follow up the mittel-European nostalgia of his hit operetta ''Bitter Sweet'' (1929) was not a success and ran for only 132 performances. It nevertheless contained songs that endured, in Coward's cabaret act and elsewhere, such as "The Stately Homes of England".
==Production==
''Operette'' was first performed at the Manchester Opera House, from 17 February 1938 to 12 March 1938. It then transferred to His Majesty's Theatre in London on 16 March 1938, closing on 9 July 1938.〔"The Theatres: Mr. Noel Coward's Operette''", ''The Times'', 3 March 1938, p. 12〕〔Lewis, David. ("Operette" ) at The Guide to Musical Theatre, 2009〕
There are 35 speaking parts in the musical, and in the original production there was a company of 80. The show is a period piece, set in the year 1906 at the fictional "Jubilee" theatre.〔〔''The Manchester Guardian'' 18 February 1938, p. 13〕 Coward directed the production. Wood and Massary were supported by Griffith Jones as the young peer who falls in love with the heroine, and Irene Vanbrugh as his mother.〔
