Autumn with Musica non grata
The autumn with the Musica non grata cycle has a great deal to offer: two premieres, one of
a revue operetta Ball im Savoy, the other of a fairy-tale opera Schwanda, the Bagpiper, followed
by the return of Verlobung im Traum (Betrothal in a Dream) to the State Opera, and last three
reruns of the surrealist Flammen (Flames). It brings the work of the king of jazz operetta, Paul
Abraham and Czech-German “undesirable” composers such as Jaromír Weinberger, Hans
Krása and Erwin Schulhoff back into the spotlight.
