Детска оперетка в България. Репертоарен каталог 1906-1954
Children's Operetta in Bulgaria. Repertory Catalogue 1906-1954

Summary/Abstract: The children’s or fairy tale operetta historically preceded the appearance of classical operetta in Bulgaria and played a favorable role for socializing the genre faster and more easily as well as for early discovering talented performers of this type of popular musical-scenic art. As repertory, mainly intended for performance by children, the children’s operettas were brought from Europe to the Bulgarian stage at the beginning of: XX c. by Czech bandmasters. The present repertory catalogue (of 50-year continuous musical-scenic practice in Bulgaria) has been published for the first time, and has been compiled on the basis of officially registered children‘s performances in printed programs or announcements in the chronicle of local periodicals and reminiscences of the musical past in Bulgarian towns. The principle of arrangement is alphabetical (for the authors and the titles of the children’s operettas) and chronological (for their opening performances).
