The Enchantress: 1911 Victor Herbert Operetta: Complete Book And Lyrics (Historical Libretto Series)

This often over looked Victor Herbert musical was considered at the time when it was first produced one of Herbert's best scores. Critics hailed the play as "all that a musical show should be." Critics also acknowledged the book by Harry B. Smith, the forefather of today's modern musical, as "excellent" with "a consistently interesting and engaging story" of a Prince who is enchanted by a commoner, a beautiful actress. If he marries her he must forfeit his kingdom thus causing the serio-comic plotting on the part of spies, conspirators, and ambitious Princesses. First produced in 1911, the musical is one of the few successful Herbert scores which lacked a significant revival after its initial production.
