The story of a peasant girl who, as a mascot, is supposed to bring happiness to everyone around her if she does not marry was first staged in Paris in 1880, with music by Audran and libretto by Alfred Duru and Henri Chivot. It premiered on 9 November 1930 on the stage of the Ljubljana Opera House, and under the same direction, two years later, in the open air at Ljubljana’s Tivoli Park (premiere 8 September 1932). La Mascotte was one of the first performances on Slovenian professional stages designed according to avant- garde concepts. Kreft adapted it to the then-current political as well as artistic, theatrical and film conditions. He replaced some of the original characters with those caricaturing the politician Benito Mussolini, the comedian Charlie Chaplin and others. He even added a fictional character of a delegate to the League of Nations. He created the modern commedia dell’arte, which immediately became a theatrical hitRazprava oriše dve ljubljanski uprizoritvi Audranove operete La Mascotte, obe v režiji Bratka Krefta (1905–1996) in scenografiji Vasilija Uljaniščeva (1887–1934). Zgodbo o kmečkem dekletu, ki naj bi kot maskota prinašala srečo vsem okrog sebe, če se ne poroči, so z glasbo Edmonda Audrana ter libretom Alfreda Duruja in Henrija Chivota prvič uprizorili v Parizu leta 1880. Pri nas je bila premierno uprizorjena 9. novembra 1930 na odru ljubljanske Opere, hkrati pa čez dve leti v isti režiji na novo uprizorjena na prostem v parku Tivoli v Ljubljani (premiera 8. september 1932). Opereta La Mascotte je bila ena prvih predstav na naših poklicnih odrih, ki so bile zasnovane po novih avantgardnih merilih. Kreft jo je namreč režijsko, scenografsko in kostumsko priredil glede na aktualne politične pa tudi likovne, gledališke in filmske razmere. Nekatere like izvirnika je zamenjal z liki, ki so karikirali politika Benita Mussolinija, komika Charlieja Chaplina in še nekatere, ter dodal celo izmišljeni lik delegata Društva narodov. Ustvaril je sodobno commedio dell‘arte, ki je takoj postala gledališka uspešnicaTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaSlovenski gledališki inštitut (SLOGI)
