A moody hysteria pervades this design, helped in no small part by the swirling mauve shadow cast by a pair of high-spirited dancers, reveling with disciplined abandon in order to promote a revival of an operetta loosely based on the life of Italian Humanist prose and poetry writer Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375). Penned by “Franz von SuppÈ (1819-1895) . . . [who] was in many ways the father of Viennese operetta . . . One of the most popular of all Viennese operettas, Boccaccio . . . [was] one of those happy ones set in Italy, allowing for all sorts of native dances. . . . The role of Boccaccio was taken by Antonie Link (women would traditionally play the part until the 1920s) and Rosa Streitman was his beloved Fiametta in a clever libretto which placed the actual poet Boccaccio in his own Florence . . . Boccaccio’s name alone must have intrigued a good many theatergoers to visit the many theaters all over the world in which SuppÈ’s Meisterwerk played” (Operettas: A Theatrical History, by Richard Traubner, pp. 104-109).
