About

Franz von Suppé became famous all over the world for the easy brilliance of his operetta melodies. He also achieved great success with theatrical stage music, including this version of Jules Verne’s adventure novel Around the World in 80 Days. Verne’s interest in science and new discoveries reflects the optimism of the late 19th century, and Suppé’s music is a perfect reflection of the light and dark in the narrative, evocatively tracking Phileas Fogg’s enterprising and at time dangerous voyage, and taking in the exotic orient and Gold Rush America along the way.

Franz von Suppé’s music is best remembered today in numerous operetta overtures, but what is less well known is that he composed a great deal of music for the stage, his facility for vivid description in music making his work prized in 19th-century Viennese theatrical circles.
