Victor Herbert’s wildly popular 1897 comic operetta, The Serenade, forever changed the landscape of American musical theater and is rarely heard, despite its historic popular success in the US and abroad. In its continued mission to restore Herbert’s popularity among American audiences, Victor Herbert Renaissance Project Live presents The Serenade as the finale to its 2015/16 season
Victor Herbert, arguably the most important theatrical composer of the early 20th century, championed the transformation of traditional Viennese operetta to the Americanized form of musical comedy. Herbert’s first major success, The Serenade is known for a song that sweeps the Spanish countryside, and a light-hearted storyline with a near-sighted guardian wooing the girl a youthful suitor wants to steal away.
In its original form, The Serenade has not been performed in New York City, or on the East Coast in over a century!
