A fascinating artist, an impressive work, a ruined life: with his book about Paul Abraham the "tragic king of jazz operetta", Klaus Waller takes on a dark chapter of German music theater history and sets a sad and rousing monument to the innovator of the operetta Genre, who was displaced from Germany by the Nazis in 1933.
The publication “Paul Abraham—The Tragic King of Jazz Operetta” documents the historical injustice committed to Paul Abraham and its significance for music theater. It aims to awaken new interest in the extraordinary work of an exceptionally gifted composer.
