Singspiel in drei Akten von Dr A M Willner und Heinz Reichert mit Benuetzung des Romanes Schwammerl von Dr R H Bartsch. Musik nach Franz Schubert fuer die Buehne bearbeitet von Heinrich Berte
Composer: Schubert, Franz 1797 - 1828
Das Dreimäderlhaus (House of the Three Girls - 1916) is a Viennese pastiche operetta with music by Franz Schubert, which gives a fictionalized account of Schubert’s romantic life. Debuting during World War I, the operetta’s popularity was fueled by the Austrain public’s taste for nostalgia, harnessing an old-fashioned, sentimental story and Schubert’s familiar music. Schubert worked hard during his lifetime to become a successful opera composer, but found little success in the genre. With Das Dreimäderlhaus, ironically, his music finally became famous in a stage work. By 1961, the piece was estimated to have played over 85,000 performances worldwide.
