The final years of the Habsburg Empire were accompanied by a new musical genre, Viennese operetta, and no composer was better suited than Johann Strauss to express his city's pride and anxiety during the period. Camille Crittenden provides an overview of Viennese operetta and examines Strauss's role as national icon.
