It comprises topics such as the fundamental question of the contemporary relevance of operetta, the staging between considering the genre a historical phenomenon and new inventive ways, creative attempts at renewal of the genre, the situation of specific training for the singers and challenges for the performers, and concludes in an overview of the international reception.
