- Abstract
The article focuses on "Hier irrt Goethe," the three-act operetta parody in Germany of the Weimar Republic created by Die vier Nachrichter, a cabaret troupe founded by theatre students at the University of Munich working with Arthur Kutscher. Topics covered include history of operetta in Germany, the 1932 performance of "Hier irrt Goethe" in line with the centennial of poet and dramatist Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's death, and the ironic context of the operetta.
