  In 1935, the operetta star Max Hansen celebrated a triumphal success with his staging of Värdshuset vita hästen in Stockholm, a Swedish translation of the German popular music theater piece Im weißen Rössl (world premiere: 1930 in Berlin). Hansen had made himself a striking career in Germany in the 1920s as a cabaret artist, singer, and operetta performer. Being of Jewish descent, he moved to safer places in Europe after Hitler came to power, finally arriving in Stockholm and continuing to perform his repertoire there. By working with operettas he already knew from his years in Germany, Hansen could continue his success in Sweden. But he didn’t only help operetta to another heyday in Stockholm: With his stagings, he also functioned as a beacon of hope for persecuted operetta artists. As letters to Hansen show, German and Austrian artists begged him to get an engagement in Hansen’s stagings and hence find a way to escape from the National Socialists. In this paper, I will examine the impact of Max Hansen on the operetta transfers from Berlin to Stockholm in the 1930s, with a special focus on the musical theater work Im weißen Rössl. Even though Stockholm had a thriving operetta scene for over 100 years (Paavolainen, 2020), there has been little research on this subject. The 1930s are an interesting decade to look at, with its fateful developments in Europe and especially Germany causing the mobility of many operetta artists. Therefore, this paper wants to shed light on the impact of people like Max Hansen and their role in the transfer of popular music theater at a time of persecution.
