Leo Fall

The younger Fall studied at the Vienna Conservatory before rejoining his father in Berlin.

While less successful than his contemporary Franz Lehár, he was nevertheless capable of producing melodious and well orchestrated work.

His brothers Siegfried [de] and Richard were also composers; both were murdered in the Nazi concentration camps.

His best known operettas in the English-speaking world are The Dollar Princess and Madame Pompadour, which had successful runs in London and New York and remained in the repertory in Germany and Austria throughout the 20th century.

Der liebe Augustin [de] (1912; Princess Caprice in London) is reported to have been given an unprecedented 3,360 performances.
