The operetta had already made its appearance in Greek audiences from the 1870s, when French and Italian operetta companies performed in Greece. This kind becomes particularly popular for it intensifies the effort towards Europeanization in an entertaining and pleasant way. Therefore, when Athenian review shows the first signs of decadence, a new effort begins to cultivate this kind "internally" with Greek productions. The initial effort is made in 1908, when impresario Antonios Nikas produces Herve's operetta "Mam'zelle Nitouche" with orchestra director Theofrastos Sakellaridis. The play constituted a starting point for Greek operetta, since Sakellaridis himself in 1913 abandons the review to devote himself completely to the operetta, carrying along several other composers. The first Greek operettas are truly revolutionary because they abandon the practice of music piracy common in the reviews, to the benefit of original European music creation by Greek composers. Thus starts a period of creative production and assimilation of the European musical idiom in Greece.
The time period between 1916 and 1928 is a time of triumph for the Greek operetta. Its content is cheerful, easy to understand, funny, with happy endings and easy- to- sing melodies, which offer entertainment. The songs produced, immediately become popular. They are published and circulated in music scores that can be found in most houses of the urban areas where there is a piano. Through the operetta the Greek public has learned to seek original music and not tasteless replicas of foreign hits.
Theofrastos Sakellaridis is considered the father of Greek operetta. He wrote cheerful and romantic melodies and did not hesitate to add, where he thought necessary, melodies on motifs borrowed from Greek and oriental music tradition. The first operetta he wrote after leaving the annual review "Panathinea" in 1914, was "Sta Parapigmata" (In the Barracks), followed by "Pic-nic" in 1915, "I despinis Tip-Top" (Miss Tip-Top) in 1916, "O Hypnovatis" (The sleepwalker) in 1917, his greatest success, played to this day, "O Vaftistikos" (The godchild) in 1918, "Thelo na ido ton Papa" (I want to see the Priest), "Kapetan Tsanakas" (Captain Tsanakas) in 1922, "Ta monterna koritsia" (Modern girls) in 1935 etc.
Nikos Hadjiapostolou, the second and equally significant operetta composer appeared in 1916 with his play "Moderna Kamariera" (Modern Maid) which was a big success, followed by "I erotevmeni" (The love-sick) in 1919, "I Apachides ton Athinon" (The apaches of Athens) in 1921 which contained the well known song "I retsina mou" (My retsina); a reference to the songs of wine, especially loved in that time period, showing the composer's tendency to adopt a more folk-like type, "To koritsi tis gitonias" (The neighborhood girl) in 1922, "I gynaika tou dromou" (The tramp) 1924, etc.
