Ah, Love in Paree! Being engaged at birth proves awkward for Elaine, The Debutante, and Philip, as they come of age with their own exotic ideas of an ideal partner. There’s a French Marquis for her, and a French Opera Diva for him. The Debutante is set in 1914 as Cubism, Art Deco and Women’s Suffrage were racing throughout the world of art and culture. Spice or Comfort – that’s the question as deception and mistaken identity abound when the whole lot of colorful characters attempt to sort it out in Paris.
“What Victor Herbert does with a Cubist Opera should not be missed!” says Alyce Mott, VHRP LIVE! Artistic Director and Librettist. Hear again “The Face Behind the Mask,” “Call Around Again,” “The Love of the Lorelei,” “All for the Sake of A Girl” and “Never Mention Love When We’re Alone.”
