Volksoper - Der Bettelstudent Highlights Side A (1959) 💎 Orchester der Wiener | A very old vinyl with Operetta Compilation
**Carl Millöcker’s Der Bettelstudent**, first performed in Vienna in 1882, became one of the great successes of the Viennese operetta repertoire. Rather than presenting the complete work, this **10-inch Philips edition** offers a carefully arranged Highlights / Querschnitt, moving rapidly from one dramatic and musical moment to the next.
The vocal cast is particularly noteworthy. Leo Heppe appears as Oberst Ollendorf, while Karl Terkal, Hans Strohbauer, Lotte Rysanek, Herta Staal and Sonja Draksler contribute the principal vocal parts of this Vienna Volksoper production. The performers are accompanied by the Orchestra of the Wiener Volksoper, with **Kurt Richter** conducting.
You can enjoy the side A that premiered today in a very interesting vinyl restoration project.
