Notes from the Director
Called “one of the classics of the American musical theatre” and described as “a brilliantly scored piece that takes the traditional European light opera form and gives it a particularly American flavor,” Victor Herbert’s Naughty Marietta was first produced in 1910. A Hollywood version, produced by MGM in the mid 1930’s, was an important first co-starring vehicle for Jeaneatte MacDonald and Nelson Eddy. It was later produced for television in the 1955 with Alfred Drake and Patrice Munsel in the lead roles.
major opera company in New York since 1930. Influenced by the development of the “book musical” theatre in the 1940’s and 1950’s, the intention of this adaptation was to create a more credible libretto, while still retaining the original characters, many of the original situations, most of the original lyrics, and, of course, all of Victor Herbert's magnificent score.
redible vocal music program that makes even proposing such a venture as this possible! I need as well to give more than mere credit to my co-designer, Beth Pietrzak who has ingeniously solved so many problems for me, Maro Parian who has taken on the awesome task of designing and assembling the biggest costume show we have ever done here, and choreographer Jessica Wotherspoon who has found a simple appearing, sweet "look" for each number while also carrying the demanding responsibilities of the role of Adah. And the talents and commitment of this wonderful young company embody the spirit of love and playfulness that make this world work.
