Alte Komische Oper Berlin
The old ''Komische Oper'' was a privately run Opera house in Berlin-Mitte, Friedrichstraße 104, at the Weidendammer Bridge. It is not to be confused with today's Komische Oper Berlin, Behrenstraße 55-57. The naming ''Komische Oper'' referred to the Parisian Opéra-Comique. History The house was built in about eleven months from December 1904 to November 1905. The Berlin building firm ''Lachmann & Zauber'' was commissioned with the planning and construction; the architect Arthur Biberfeld (1874-1959) employed there is named as the designer of the façade design. In addition to the Berlin Friedrichstraße station, Friedrichstraße railway station, the surrounding area was also home to the Admiralspalast, one of Berlin's most famous revue theatres in the 1920s, other theatres and various well-known hotels. This central location resulted in a high price for the land even at the time of construction, which in turn made it necessary to erect the building on a relatively small si ...

Leon Jessel
Leon Jessel, or Léon Jessel (22 January 1871 – 4 January 1942) was a German composer of operettas and light classical music pieces. Today he is best known internationally as the composer of the popular jaunty march '' The Parade of the Tin Soldiers'', also known as ''The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers''. Jessel was a prolific composer who wrote hundreds of light orchestral pieces, piano pieces, songs, waltzes, mazurkas, marches, choruses, and other salon music. He achieved considerable acclaim with a number of his operettas — in particular '' Schwarzwaldmädel'' (''Black Forest Girl''), which remains popular to this day. Because Jessel was a Jew by birth (he converted to Christianity at the age of 23), with the rise of Nazism in the late 1920s, his composing virtually came to an end, and his musical works, which had been very popular, were suppressed and nearly forgotten. Early life and family Leon Jessel was born in the eastern German city of Stettin (now Szczecin, Poland) ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Libretto
A libretto (Italian for "booklet") is the text used in, or intended for, an extended musical work such as an opera, operetta, masque, oratorio, cantata or musical. The term ''libretto'' is also sometimes used to refer to the text of major liturgical works, such as the Mass, requiem and sacred cantata, or the story line of a ballet. ''Libretto'' (; plural ''libretti'' ), from Italian, is the diminutive of the word ''libro'' ("book"). Sometimes other-language equivalents are used for libretti in that language, ''livret'' for French works, ''Textbuch'' for German and ''libreto'' for Spanish. A libretto is distinct from a synopsis or scenario of the plot, in that the libretto contains all the words and stage directions, while a synopsis summarizes the plot. Some ballet historians also use the word ''libretto'' to refer to the 15 to 40 page books which were on sale to 19th century ballet audiences in Paris and contained a very detailed description of the ballet's story, scene by sce ...
