While scholarly interest in operetta has increased in the past decade, the Czech operetta scene has remained by and large a desideratum, although it was comparable to that of other (post-)Habsburg countries until 1945. Therefore, this conference addressed the blank spots of operetta history: which factors influenced repertoire formation on the one hand and omission from cultural memory on the other? What roles did nationalisms and both national and transnational networks play? To what mechanisms of exclusion were the proponents of the precarious art of operetta exposed? How has this been reflected so far in music and theatre studies, as well as in related disciplines? Such questions suggest that the seemingly “light muse” can be a highly political topic.
