Program Notes

This arrangement of the overture to one of Franz von Suppé's (of Light Cavalry Overture and Poet and Peasant Overture fame) stage works is a nice way to delve into the light, enjoyable operas of the 19th century. Viennese in character, the tunes are delightful melodies to play even if you don't know the libretto.

- Program Note from publisher


Suppé's operetta Das Pensionat received its premiere on 24 November 1860, in Vienna. The title translate as "The Boarding House."
