VHRP LIVE will open our Tenth Season with the wonderful Babes In Toyland. This extravaganza is the single most often performed work composed by Victor Herbert.  The libretto has as many versions as it has performances each year, averaging at least 10-12 scheduled performances across the country each year. VHRP LIVE! will again welcome the New Victor Herbert Orchestra occupying the St Jeans orchestra pit. Come hear Herbert as he was meant to be heard (just a tad smaller).

Here is the work considered to be the best American Operetta ever written. With libretto and lyrics written by one of America’s first major female librettists, Rida Johnson Young, here is a story you can both understand and care deeply about. VHRP LIVE! will again have the New Victor Herbert Orchestra occupying the St. Jeans’ orchestra pit. Come hear Herbert as he was meant to be heard (just a tad smaller).

 

The Plot:

Marietta seeks to escape her father’s demands by mascarading as a Casket Girl, not realizing she must marrying
when she reaches the New World of Louisiana. She has a mysterious melody floating through her head and has been told that whomever can finish it for her will be the man for her.  The plot also centers around the life and plight of Adah, a mistress owned by the son of the French Lt. Governor.  There are issues here that are just as important today as they were in 1910.

What they’re saying…

Forbes on Film and Footlights Heart O’ Mine Review

Artistic Director Alyce Mott has put together a newly produced revamp of one of the company’s most astute presentations, “Son of Dublin.” The new version — with 26 songs in all — has been completely rethought for the virtual world, and the result is both a visual and aural delight, and quite a different experience from its precursor. Away from a stage setting and audience, and given the intimate singing-to-the-camera approach, the show in its new incarnation registers as a cozy evening of parlour songs.
