In the small Russian village of Anatevka, a violinist perches perilously on the roof of the home of Tevye, the milkman.  The fiddler scratches out a tune, just as the Jewish people of Anatevka scratch out a living under perilous conditions.  Only one asset sustains them — their tradition.  Tevye works hard to provide for his wife, Golde, and their five daughters.  He envisions for his oldest daughter Tzeitel a scholarly husband, with whom he can discuss the scriptures.  Yente, the matchmaker, however, has other plans for Tzeitel — a match with the rich and widowed butcher, Lazar Wolf.  Tzeitel has her own sights set on her childhood friend, the penniless tailor Motel Kamzoil, who eventually summons the courage to ask Tevye for Tzeitel’s hand.  Adamantly refusing at first, Tevye finally relents when he sees the love in Tzeitel’s eyes.  The revolutionary university student, Perchik, engaged to teach the bible to Tevye’s children in exchange for food, makes a positive impression on second daughter Hodel.  Tevye, meanwhile, has been informed by the local constable that there must be some anti-Jewish demonstrations in the area.  His immediate concern, however, is how to break the news to Golde that he has given his blessing to Tzeitel and Motel.  He cunningly relates to her his dream in which Golde’s grandmother has risen from the grave and insisted that Tzeitel marry Motel.  In her support, there appears the apparition of Fruma-Sarah, the butcher’s deceased wife, who threatens revenge on Tzeitel should she take her place as Lazar’s wife.  The frightened Golde has no choice but to agree that a marriage between Tzeitel and Lazar is impossible.  The act ends as the joyous wedding celebration of Tzeitel and Motel is interrupted by a band of Russian soldiers, carrying out the threatened demonstration. Perchik professes his love for Hodel as he tells her that he must return to the city to further his political causes.  In a break with tradition, he does not ask Tevye’s permission to marry Hodel, but only for his blessing.  Some time later, news reaches Anatevka that Perchik has been arrested for his political activities and sent to Siberia — Hodel must go to him, but promises her father that they will be married properly as soon as Perchik is freed.  When third daughter Chava announces her intention to marry outside the faith — to the Russian Fyedka — Teyve is incensed and will not be swayed; from that day on, Chava is dead to him.  The final blow to life in Anatevka comes with the news that all Jews must leave the village.  As they leave — some for America, some for other destinations in Europe — Tevye beckons the fiddler on the roof to follow.  Wherever life might lead the displaced villagers, the fiddler will forever be with them.

John P. Wintergreen has been chosen by his party as its presidential candidate and provided a running mate…what’s his name…oh, yes…Alexander Throttlebottom.  After conducting a poll, the party determines that, after money, it is love that is of the greatest interest to the public.  To win the most votes, bachelor Wintergreen must fall in love with a typical American girl and romance her right up until election day — Americans will vote with their hearts and he will be a shoo-in.  The party committee holds a contest — the captivating Southern belle, Diana Devereaux, is the winner.  Unfortunately, Wintergreen has his heart set on secretary Mary Turner, who can sew and bake corn muffins — he refuses the hand of Diana and goes out on the campaign trail with Mary.  After winning the election handily, Wintergreen and Mary are wed by the Chief Justice at the inauguration, a celebration that is interrupted when Diana arrives and serves him with a summons alleging breach of promise.  The assembled Supreme Court justices rule in favor of corn muffins — John and Mary can head off to the White House.  Vice-President Throttlebottom has been hanging around the White House, wondering what his job is.  When told that he presides over the Senate, he dashes out to catch the first street car down Pennsylvania Avenue.  Diana has not given up her fight — she gets hold of the French ambassador, who, on her behalf, elevates the issue to an international incident.  The party committee, sensitive to the gravity of the situation, demands that Wintergreen either annul his marriage and tie up with Diana, or resign.  When the President refuses both options, the committee pursues impeachment.  The Senate vote is going distinctively against Wintergreen when, in the truest fashion of Gilbert and Sullivan, Mary bursts in with some startling news that ultimately both turns the vote in her husband’s favor and provides a logical solution to placating Diana and thus resolving the international crisis.

It is Carnival time again in Venice as macaroni cook Pappacoda extols his virtues as one of the city’s favored institutions.  Naval officer Enrico slips him a note with a message for Senator Delacqua’s wife Barbara that he will be awaiting her for a rendezvous later that evening.  Anticipating the annual arrival in town of the philandering Duke of Urbino, Senator Delacqua intends to send Barbara by gondola to an out-of-town aunt in Murano for “safekeeping.”  Barbara, eager for a romantic evening with Enrico, engages the fisher-girl Annina to disguise herself and take her place in the gondola.  Annina’s sweetheart Caramello is the Duke’s barber, always on the lookout for romantic opportunities for his master.  Unbeknownst to Annina, he disguises himself, takes the place of the gondolier, and delivers who he thinks is Barbara not to her aunt, but to the Duke, who recalls her receptive response to his advances the previous year.  Imagine Caramello’s surprise when, upon arrival at the palace, he and Annina unmask and he realizes that he has just delivered his sweetheart into the hands of the womanizing Duke.  Annina is happy to take advantage of the moment and exploit the time with the Duke that fate has given her.  Meanwhile, Delacqua is enjoying the festivities with a masked, phony wife, Ciboletta, the girlfriend of Pappacoda.  When Delacqua leaves to join Barbara in Murano, the Duke wastes no time and courts both Annina and Ciboletta, with their jealous boyfriends looking on.  As the reveling shifts to Saint Mark’s Square, Ciboletta reports to Pappacoda that she has secured for him an appointment as the Duke’s personal cook — now they can marry.  Failing to find Barbara in Murano, Delacqua returns, confronts Barbara and Enrico, and is only placated when Enrico concocts some story about rescuing the senator’s wife from an impostor gondolier.  The Duke, less interested in Barbara when he takes note of Enrico’s size, rewards Caramello for keeping him out of trouble by promoting him to his personal steward. Caramello and Annina can now marry…and the Carnival celebration continues through the night.

High spirits prevail aboard the H.M.S. Pinafore as bumboat woman Little Buttercup distributes sweets and tobacco to the crew.  Seaman Ralph Rackstraw’s mind, however, is on Josephine, the daughter of their Captain Corcoran.  He is in love with her even though she is socially unattainable.  Unaware of his affection, Josephine is in love with Ralph, but pride prevents her from revealing this because of his low station.  Josephine, meanwhile, is sought in marriage by Sir Joseph Porter, First Lord of the Admiralty, whose advances she refuses to acknowledge.  Sir Joseph holds strong views about the treatment of sailors — he maintains that a British sailor is any man’s equal (excepting his own) and should always be treated with politeness, without recourse to bad language or abuse.  This inspires Ralph to declare his love to Josephine, who soon forgets her pride and confesses her true feelings to him.  Plans are quickly made to smuggle the couple ashore that night to be married.  The only crewmember who is not happy at the news is Dick Deadeye.  He betrays their intentions to the Captain and they are caught before they can leave the ship.  Furious at Ralph’s actions, the Captain loses his cool and utters a swear word that is, unfortunately, overheard by Sir Joseph.  He is appalled at such an outburst and turns to Ralph for an explanation.  Unfortunately, Ralph only makes matters worse by revealing that he is in love with Josephine.  The situation is only saved by Little Buttercup, who intervenes to confess how, in her youth, she had fostered two babies from opposite ends of the social ladder.  In the course of caring for them, she had mixed them up.  The baby from the poor background was really Captain Corcoran; that from the upper crust was Ralph.  Upon hearing this, Sir Joseph immediately loses all interest in Josephine and gladly resigns her to Ralph, now Captain Rackstraw.

Salesgirls at Madame Cécile’s Parisian hat shop have no luck in interesting the American, Mrs. Hiram Bent, in any of the latest millinery creations of their boss.  Madame Cécile is furious at their lack of salesmanship and laments the absence of her prize employee Fifi, who certainly could have secured a sale.  So valuable is the young girl to the shop’s success, and so fearful is Cécile that some rival shop might steal her, that she has decided that Fifi should marry her milksop son Gaston.  Needing to keep on good terms with his mother, who provides him with money to support his high life, Gaston agrees to the union.  Fifi, however, is being courted by the dashing Captain Étienne, whose sister and guardian uncle are scandalized by the thought that their kinsman even contemplate such a social mismatch.  Back in the shop, Fifi chats with a customer, Hiram Bent, expressing her longing to leave her job and pursue a stage career, a move that Hiram encourages.  Hiram, with more money than he knows what to do with, slips 5000 francs into an envelope that he knows Fifi will soon discover.  Wanting neither to work to support a man nor have a man support her, Fifi rejects marriage proposals — first from Gaston and then from Étienne, whose love she returns, but who must wait until she is no longer just a shop girl.  Fifi announces to Madame Cécile that she will not marry Gaston and, in fact, is quitting her job to pursue her dream.  As she leaves, she discovers the envelope and knows that fate is smiling on her. A year later, at a charity bazaar at the home of Étienne’s uncle, guest Hiram Bent relates how Fifi has become a major singing star, paid him back for the cash advance and, in fact, will be performing this very day for the assembled guests.  When Fifi arrives, the uncle forbids her from singing and from ever marrying his nephew.  The strong-willed Fifi swears to him that she will only marry Étienne when the day comes that the uncle begs her to do so.  When Étienne arrives, Fifi changes places with the hired fortune teller and learns that Étienne’s feelings for her are as strong as ever.  Through a bit of cunning with a mirror, she wins Étienne’s uncle to her side—he indeed begs her to marry Étienne.

On the day that worshippers bring offerings for the Feast of Adonis, Helen, the Spartan queen, learns from the soothsayer Calchas that Venus has awarded her — the most beautiful woman in the world — to a shepherd.  Already married to Menelaus and aware of her great beauty, Helen wonders what destiny has in store for her.  When the shepherd (who is actually Paris, the son of King Priam of Troy) arrives, it is love at first sight.  The not-very-bright kings of Greece stage a contest of wit and intelligence, which the shepherd readily wins.  Crowned as victor, Paris (as he now reveals himself) indicates to Calchas that he would be happier if Menelaus were absent.  With an assist from Calchas, Jupiter orders Menelaus to depart to Knossus for a month. A month later, Helen is courted by Paris in her bedchamber, but, although attracted to him, refuses to surrender.  After the kings play a bizarre card game and retire for supper, Helen asks Calchas to have the gods send her a dream in which Paris appears.  When she is asleep, Paris (disguised as a slave) returns and persuades her that they are embracing in a dream.  After the unexpected arrival of Menelaus interrupts their lovemaking, Menelaus gets scant comfort from the kings, who declare that a gallant husband should give his wife advance notice of his travel plans.  Yet they unite in denouncing the upstart Paris, who leaves with the warning that the will of Venus will be done. At a seaside resort, Spartans wonder if the marked increase in marital infidelity results from Venus taking vengeance on them.  Menelaus demands that Helen explain her conduct with Paris — she indignantly insists it was all a dream.  To resolve the matter, Menelaus has sent for the soothsayer of Venus, who arrives by boat with the report that the goddess must be appeased by having Helen sent to Knossus.  Once he has Helen in hand, the soothsayer announces that he is Paris and that he is taking her to Troy.

An early Baronet of Ruddigore had a witch burned at the stake — she cursed him and all his line, dooming them to commit at least one crime a day, under penalty of an agonizing death.  Dame Hannah narrates this legend to professional bridesmaids, gathered around the cottage of Rose Maybud, an attractive young damsel who has not yet found a husband.  Robin Oakapple, a young farmer, is in love with Rose, but too bashful to declare his passion.  We learn through Adam, an old retainer, that Robin is really Sir Ruthven Murgatroyd, the true Baronet of Ruddigore, who had fled the curse, leaving it, with the title and estates, to his younger brother, Despard.  His foster-brother, Richard Dauntless, just returned from sea, also knows Robin’s true identity.  Learning of the deadlock in Robin’s love-affair, Richard volunteers to see Rose and clear up the situation.  Instead, he too falls in love with her — a love that she readily accepts.  But when Rose learns of Robin’s love for her, she promptly transfers her affections to him, remarking that while Richard is a penniless sailor, Robin is a prosperous farmer.  Mad Margaret enters and reveals that she had once been in love with Despard, who laments his infamy, but notes that he atones for every bad action with a good one.  Richard reveals to him that Ruthven is alive and masquerading as Robin Oakapple.  Robin enters with his promised bride, but the wedding is rudely interrupted by the revelation that Robin is really the baronet.  Rose promptly offers herself to Despard, who declares that he, being no longer the bad baronet but a virtuous person, will be true to Mad Margaret.  Rose, not at all abashed, once more falls back on Richard. In the picture gallery of Ruddigore Castle, portraits of his ancestors look grimly down upon a sadly changed Robin/Ruthven.  Richard and Rose obtain consent to their marriage from Ruthven, who makes an impassioned appeal that his ancestors relieve him of the necessity of a daily crime.  Stepping down from their frames, and led by his uncle Roderic, they accuse him of evading the terms of the curse, and order him to do something really wicked — carry off a maiden that very day.  When he refuses, they give him a sample of the “agonies” that they can inflict — Ruthven is compelled to yield, and orders Adam to go at once and bring him a maiden — any maiden!  A reformed Despard and Margaret now appear, soberly attired, and describe themselves as district visitors engaged in charitable activities.  They have come to implore Ruthven to forswear his wicked ways — he agrees to do so.  Adam enters with the “maiden” he was sent to abduct, who turns out to be none other than the mature Dame Hannah, who proves so well able to protect herself that Ruthven has to call upon his Uncle Roderic for help.  Roderic steps down from his frame, and we learn that he and Hannah were once lovers.  Their reunion is interrupted by the excited entrance of Ruthven — he has the solution to his dilemma.  Pointing out that his refusal to fulfill the terms of the curse amounts to suicide…and as suicide is itself a crime…it follows that the curse in inoperative!  Roderic declares himself still alive, Rose at once becomes the bride of the reformed Ruthven, Richard appropriates the chief bridesmaid, and all ends in general rejoicing.

Cowhand Curly arrives at Aunt Eller’s farmhouse to invite her niece, Laurey, to the box-social. After confessing that his promise of a fringed surrey is but a  figment of his imagination, Laurey’s stubborn pride gets the better of her fondness for Curly; she decides to go instead with the surly hired hand, Jud. Meanwhile, Will Parker has returned from Kansas City with a roping prize of $50, just what Ado Annie’s father requires of Will before he can marry his daughter, who, in Will’s absence, has succumbed to the “charms” of the quick-talking peddler, Ali Hakim. Curly visits Jud in the smokehouse and tries to convince him to hang himself; he would then get all the sympathy and respect that have been denied him. Deciding, after all, to attend the social with Curly, Laurey has another change of heart after a dream in which Jud, in a fit of jealousy, beats up her lover. When Curly outbids Jud for Laurey’s picnic hamper, she becomes frightened by Jud’s aggressive attempt at courtship and fires him. After squandering his $50 more than once, Will finally succeeds in regaining it; Ado Annie is finally his, although the flighty girl’s goodbye to Ali Hakim is a little more spirited than suits Will. Three weeks later, as citizens celebrate the approaching statehood of Oklahoma, Curly and Laurey are married, but their wedding night is interrupted by a drunken, knife-wielding Jud. In the ensuing fight, Jud is killed and Curly faces arrest and trial…

Adamantly opposed to the French occupation of their North African homeland, the Riffs are led in their rebellion by the mysterious Red Shadow, who appears, guides them in battle, and then disappears. Their successes have been fewer since Captain Paul Fontaine has assumed command of the French forces. Fontaine is engaged to Margot Bonvalet and has promised, as a wedding present, to eliminate the Red Shadow as a threat. The Red Shadow is actually Pierre, the son of General Birabeau, the French provincial governor. Eight years before, to impress Margot, Pierre had left Paris and joined the French army in North Africa. When he refused an order to carry out a pointless raid on a local village, he was slapped by the governor, Fontaine’s father, and forced to resign in disgrace. To avenge this insult and stamp out French cruelty, he began his masquerade as the Red Shadow, all the while living day-to-day as the milksop son of General Birabeau. Society columnist turned bungling war correspondent Benjamin Kidd is captured by the Riffs and, in return for his freedom, ordered to spy on the French. He has little time for his clinging secretary, Susan, who just doesn’t have “It.” Seeing little chance of winning Margot’s hand as Pierre, the Red Shadow dons his costume and carries her off to a desert hideout. When the jealous dancing girl, Azuri — once Fontaine’s love interest — leads Birabeau to the hideout, Pierre is unable to draw his sword against his own father. The betrayed Riffs turn him out to the desert to die…

The noble lord Pish-Tush relates that, under theMikado’s law, the tailor Ko-Ko has been condemned to death for flirting, but has been reprieved at the last moment and appointed Lord High Executioner of Titipu. All other duties will be assumed by Pooh-Bah, the Lord High Everything Else. Ko-Ko is betrothed to his ward Yum-Yum, but she has fallen in love with the strolling musician Nanki-Poo. She and her sisters, Peep-Bo and Pitti-Sing, have recently left the confines of the ladies’ seminary, see life as a source of fun, and wonder what the world has in store for them. Nanki-Poo reveals to Yum-Yum that he is, in fact, the Mikado’s son and has fled from court to escape the marital ambitions of the elderly Katisha. The Mikado sends word of his displeasure that no executions have yet taken place in Titipu, and orders that the situation be rectified soon. Nanki-Poo, in despair and on the verge of suicide because he cannot marry Yum-Yum, agrees to be executed in a month, provided that he can marry her in the meantime. Ko-Ko cannot bring himself to kill anyone; he falsifies an affidavit of execution. TheMikado, accompanied by Katisha, arrives in Titipu in search of his son. When Katisha sees Nanki-Poo’s name on the affidavit, the Mikado condemns Ko-Ko to death for compassing the death of the heir-apparent. It is only after Ko-Ko persuades Katisha to love him, she pleads for mercy with the Mikado, and emperor and son are reunited that all ends happily in Titipu

Aljoscha, the son of Russia’s czar, has grown up with an intense distrust of society and a dislike of women. As the curtain rises, he laments his intense loneliness and inner torment, begging for angelic intervention. Aljoscha’s valet Ivan and his wife Mascha are continually bickering, very much in love, but each with a flirtatious and wandering eye. For political reasons, the time has come for the czarevitch to marry. The Prime Minister has resorted to a subterfuge in order to heighten his interest in the female sex — the male dancers called in to entertain Aljoscha are really women in disguise. When his eyes alight on one in particular, arrangements are made for the disguised dancer, Sonia, to meet privately with the czarevitch. She contemplates her destiny, wondering whether the young prince might unlock the passion within her. Upon discovering her identity, Aljoscha is furious, but agrees with her plan to play along with the ruse. By the time they finish a champagne dinner, he senses that his request for an angel has been granted and that he has now a new companion, different from any in the past. These feelings of friendship eventually turn to real love — a love that is threatened when his uncle convinces him that he is but one in a long string of lovers for Sonia. When she convinces him otherwise, the couple flees to Naples. Their idyllic life away from the Russian court is challenged when his uncle, the Grand Duke, appears and announces that the czar is dead and that duty calls…

Jim Paradene arrives at the shop of London song publishers Gripps and Gravvins in search of a song to sing at the village concert. He stands to inherit a fortune from his father when he marries, but only if his choice of bride meets the approval of his doltish cousin, The Marquis of Harrogate, who is under the total control of his mother, the Marchioness of Harrogate. As Jim has his heart set on the chorus girl Marilynn Morgan, approval seems out of the question. Marilynn arrives at the shop to audition for the cabaret that the firm is staging. Jim suggests that she give up her unpromising career, marry him, and move to the country, even if it means that he forgo his inheritance. Marilynn wants to make it on her own — maybe they should part. Jim, however, has an idea — they can pretend to be married, disappear for a week, and then invite the Harrogates to a post-honeymoon party. In the celebratory atmosphere, with all the neighboring elite in attendance, theMarchioness will certainly be impressed and grant her approval, at which time they will go off and get married for real. Gravvins offers the use of his estate, but when it is discovered that all the neighbors are out of town, he rushes to enlist his cabaret troupe to impersonate the local notables. Gripps himself impersonates the vicar; the entire hoax is exposed only when the real vicar appears. By the time Marilynn and her troupe perform their mock-Hawaiian routine at the cabaret, both the Marchioness and her son are convinced that Marilynn and Jim are indeed meant for one another.

Phoebe, the daughter of Sergeant Meryll of the Yeomen of The Guard, irritates the jailer Wilfred when she ignores him and expresses pity for the jailed Captain Fairfax who, through an inheritance scam by a scheming relative, has been condemned to death for sorcery and is to be executed this very day at the Tower of London. Meryll concocts a plan whereby his son, Leonard, arriving to join the Yeomen, will go into hiding and be impersonated by a newly-shaven, beardless, unrecognizable Fairfax, thus providing time to seek a pardon. In order to thwart his unscrupulous kinsman, Fairfax begs Tower Lieutenant Cholmondely to find him a wife. Jester Jack Point and his intended bride, the strolling singer Elsie Maynard, arrive in town; the lieutenant confronts Elsie and, with the promise of 100 crowns and an assurance to Jack that her new husband will shortly be dead, Elsie is blindfolded, whisked away, and married to Fairfax. The plan goes awry when the condemned prisoner is discovered missing from his cell. Tower housekeeper Dame Carruthers, always with a matrimonial eye on Sergeant Meryll, reveals to Fairfax the identity of his wife. Point, desperate for Elsie’s affections, announces that Fairfax has been killed in an escape attempt. The “widow” Elsie is immediately wooed by both Point and Fairfax, the latter still posing as Leonard. When the real Leonard arrives with a pardon for Fairfax, Elsie discovers that her “Leonard” is really Fairfax and that she is already married to the man she loves. Jack Point falls insensible at their feet.

For the public execution that traditionally is the high point of his birthday celebration, the disguised King Ouf tries, but fails, to elicit anti-government remarks from his citizens. To satisfy a constitutional requirement that he marry, Ouf has selected as his bride the neighboring Princess Laoula, who arrives accompanied by Ambassador Hérisson, his wife Aloès, and his secretary Tapioca. Enroute, Laoula has caught the eye of the young peddler, Lazuli, who sinks into despair when Hérisson, to provide diplomatic confusion, refers to Laoula as his wife. Lazuli vents his dissatisfaction with the government to a passing stranger, the incognito King, who now has found his victim. As Lazuli is about to be tortured, Ouf’s astrologer, Siroco, rushes in to inform the King that one day after Lazuli dies, so too will the King, and — according to the clever King’s will — 15 minutes later, Siroco himself must die. Ouf cancels the execution and leads Lazuli in full splendor to his palace. The thoroughly pampered Lazuli wants only to escape and win the hand of Laoula. Toward this end, he challenges Hérisson to a dual. When the pompous ambassador arrives, Ouf has him arrested and inadvertently helps Laoula and Lazuli to elope. When Lazuli is presumed drowned, and thus their own lives are jeopardized, Ouf and Siroco try to allay their anxiety by turning back the hands of the clock and imbibing a little chartreuse. With Ouf’s heart still set on Laoula, Lazuli threatens suicide. The King, recalling Siroco’s deadly forecast, decides to forgo his own matrimonial happiness. He names Lazuli his heir, happy in the knowledge that the young boy is destined to predecease him by 24 hours.

Tourists at Vienna’s Schönbrunn Palace in the 1930’s inquire about the love affair, half a century earlier, between Crown Prince Rudolph and the teenaged Marie Vetsera. An old woman, with uncanny knowledge of the affair, begins to reminisce as the scene slowly dissolves to reveal the Vienna of 1888. Rudolph, the son of Emperor Franz Josef, pleads with his father for greater involvement in the affairs of state. Franz Josef chastises his son for his sordid affairs that have taken him away from his duty as a husband and father. Rudolph, informed that his former paramour, Countess Landowska, has written a politically damaging book, is determined to stop its publication. At the debutante presentation ceremony, Rudolph meets the young countess, Marie Vetsera (nicknamed Marinka), and invites her for a private meeting at his hunting lodge at Mayerling. His increasing feelings for Marie are tempered when he receives a visit from Lieutenant Baltatzy, who claims to be Marie’s fiancé. She convinces Rudolph otherwise as they fall into each other’s arms, watched all the time by the scheming lieutenant. Marie is summoned before the Emperor, whose spies have informed him of the budding relationship. He convinces Marie that she must leave Rudolph forever; otherwise, the Prince would be forced to abdicate, an option that the Empire will not tolerate. Rudolph’s appeal to the Pope for annulment of his current marriage and his alignment with Hungary in defying his father’s outdated policies serve only to heighten the tension between father and son and the romance between the two lovers. What choice do they have?

Maria is a nun at an abbey in 1938 Austria, but her personality doesn’t fit the lifestyle practiced within its walls. The Mother Abbess sends her to be governess for the recently widowed Captain von Trapp. Although she quickly wins over his seven children, awakens romantic feelings in him, and strange new feelings in herself, she is confused by these emotions and flees back to the convent. The children are very distraught, especially as their father is to wed the wealthy, not very kind Elsa Schrader. The Abbess decides that Maria should not use the convent as an escape from the world and orders that she return as governess. Elsa, meanwhile, breaks off her engagement to von Trapp because of his refusal to accept the encroaching German position. Maria and von Trapp are married, but when offered a commission in the German navy, he realizes that he and his family can no longer remain in Austria. Under the pretense of an entertainment at a local festival, the family manages to escape the clutches of Nazi soldiers and, with the help of nuns in the abbey and the conscience-stricken former boyfriend of the oldest von Trapp daughter, to find its way to safety through the mountains into Switzerland.

Prince Karl Franz, grandson of the King of Karlsberg, has left his restricted life and, accompanied by his tutor Dr. Engel and pompous valet Lutz, begins a year of study, incognito, at Heidelberg University. Upon his arrival, he is charmed by the sights and sounds of student revelry and by the waitress Kathie, the niece of the proprietor of the Inn of the Three Golden Apples. A visit from Karlsberg’s Princess Margaret, to whom he is betrothed by the wish of his dynastically minded grandfather, convinces Karl Franz that he and Kathie, now deeply in love, must escape together to Paris. News arrives, however, that the King is dying and that Karl Franz must return to Karlsberg. He promises Kathie that he will return, but she knows better. Two years pass, and Karl Franz is now King, although he has managed to delay his marriage to Margaret. Word reaches him that Kathie spends all her time weeping in her room. The king must return to Heidelberg. His arrival is preceded by that of Princess Margaret, who convinces Kathie of the sacrifice that she must make for the royal cause. When she confronts the arriving King, Kathie tells him, holding back the tears, that although she will always remember him, she is going back to her hometown to wed the fiancé of her younger days.

Because his hard-of-hearing nursemaid Ruth misunderstood his father’s request that his son become an apprentice to a pilot, Frederic has spent his childhood years as apprentice to a pirate. He will soon come of age and, although he dearly loves his shipmates, finds their profession atrocious and will devote his adult life to their extermination. Although he has never seen a woman other than Ruth, he has a hard time believing that he couldn’t do better with someone 30 years younger. He finds that someone in Mabel, the daughter of Major-General Stanley. Just as Frederic is about to lead a mission to bring down the pirates, it is revealed that, because he was born on February 29, he is really only five years old and must remain loyal to the pirates, much to the dismay of Mabel, whose father is under siege by the pirate crew. The pirates defeat the policemen, but submit when called upon to do so in Queen Victoria’s name. Ruth reveals that the pirates are all noblemen who have “gone wrong,” and General Stanley orders them to be released to resume their former positions. The pirates marry the General’s daughters and Mabel and Frederic are united.

Der Vogelhändler is the story of a boyish Tyrolean birdseller, Adam, who is anxious to marry Christel, the village postmistress. She goes to the Prince to secure for him the post of Royal Menagerie Keeper, but does not know that His Royal Highness is being impersonated by the swindler and ladies’ man, Stanislaus, who has concocted a complex plan to pay off his heavy debt. Adam, unaware of Christel’s good intentions, becomes furious when he sees her in the pavilion with the supposed Prince and, even more so, when Christel gives the Prince the bouquet that Adam had just presented to her. The actual Princess, disguised as a peasant girl Marie, offers to Adam her bouquet, which in the Tyrol, he reminds her, means that she has given him her heart as well. After an examination by two eccentric and admittedly unscrupulous professors, Adam is offered the menagerie position. Despite Christel’s pleas that she has not been unfaithful, Adam decides that she should marry Stanislaus, an option that she resists. Only after the Princess assures Christel that she, Marie, is no threat to her does the mail girl finally reunite with Adam.

The nobleman Bluebeard has chosen the charming country girl Boulotte as his wife, although, unbeknownst to her, he had ordered his alchemist Popolani to dispose of five previous wives. After meeting the long-lost Princess Hermia, who has just become engaged to her admirer, Prince Saphir, Bluebeard decides that he no longer has use for Boulotte and seeks Hermia as his spouse. He requests that Popolani dispose of his current wife in the same manner as the previous ones. In his cave, the alchemist administers to her a vial of poison, whose quick effect convinces Bluebeard that he is once again a bachelor. Popolani, in fact, has murdered no one; with the help of a mechanical device, he awakens all the wives. Bluebeard, meanwhile, has put a stop to the wedding of Saphir and Hermia, and taken her as his seventh wife. The revived six wives, disguised as gypsies to get his attention, expose the evils of Bluebeard, who, although repentant, is dragged home by Boulotte to live unhappily ever after.

Mary Lloyd, the very beautiful, very rich and very spoiled daughter of Chicago’s hot dog king, travels to Europe with her society girlfriends to see who can succeed in buying the most unobtainable item, with the winner receiving one million dollars. In a Budapest dance hall, she becomes intrigued with the visiting Crown Prince of Sylvaria, but throws a tantrum when he refuses her request that they dance a Charleston or fox trot, insisting rather that a waltz or polka would be more appropriate. Mary buys the royal palace, cables her father that soon she will buy the Prince that goes with it and promises all that before long he will be dancing to her tune. By prearranged plan, the Prince, however, is to soon marry his cousin, Princess Rosemarie, who confesses that she has no interest in a royal husband; her attention becomes increasingly fixed on Mary’s private secretary, Mr. Bondy. The growing affection between Mary and the Prince is undermined when he learns from her girlfriends that, apparently, he is nothing but the means to her million-dollar prize. We won’t give away the ending, but let it be said that the final curtain falls as the Prince insists on “a tender fox trot with Mary.”

Princess Ida, daughter of the crusty King Gama, has been betrothed since childhood to Prince Hilarion, son of King Hildebrand. Gama, however, is unable to deliver his daughter to Hilarion because she is occupied as founder and ruler of an all-girls university, which educates young women on the realities of men. The school excludes everything male; even “hymns” are referred to as “hers.” Hildebrand orders the arrest of Gama, as Hilarion decides that he still wants to win Ida’s heart. He and his friends, Cyril and Florian, enter the college in female disguise. When they cross paths with Lady Psyche, Professor of Humanities, who happens to be Florian’s sister, they are forced to confess their identities and are imprisoned by Ida. Hildebrand and his men threaten to execute Ida’s three brothers if Hilarion is not released and allowed to wed Ida. The Princess defies his challenge and readies for combat. Gama arrives, a crushed man, as Hildebrand has provided him so many luxuries in prison that he has nothing to complain about. His tears move Ida to order the gates opened and the masculine hordes admitted. She confesses that perhaps her thinking has been misguided and offers her hand to Hilarion.

“Professor” Harold Hill is a conman who mesmerizes the small town of River City, Iowa by selling musical instruments and uniforms with the promise to form a local student band and teach them to play using his “think method”. His plan to carry out the scam is thwarted when he falls for the local librarian, Marian Paroo, and his conscience takes over. To focus attention on the need for a boys’ band, Harold attacks the town’s new pool hall, and his argument is convincing, but the pool hall’s owner turns out to be Mayor Shinn, who orders the school board to check out Harold’s credentials. As the city officials become suspicious of him, Harold forms the men into a barbershop quartet and distracts the ladies of the town by encouraging them to study classical dance. Marian withholds evidence against Harold when she discovers he is helping her shy, withdrawn brother, Winthrop, to overcome his speech impediment. With the exception of the Mayor, the town is now under Harold’s spell. Although Marian recognizes his scheme, she falls in love with him and speaks out in his defense. Harold has the chance to skip town but decides to stay and face the music. As the band arrives in assorted, unaltered uniforms, Harold is handed a baton. “Think, men, think” is his command. At the drop of his arm comes the “Minuet in G” as it has never been “played” before. Every struggling note is music to each parent’s ears. The townspeople realize that even though Harold is a thief, he changed their lives for the better, and they forgive him. Come enjoy the delightful melodies of this American classic: Ya Got Trouble, Goodnight My Someone, Seventy-Six Trombones, Pack-A-Little / Goodnight Ladies, Marian the Librarian, My White Knight, The Wells Fargo Wagon, It’s You, Shipoopi, Lida Rose / Will I Ever Tell You, Gary, Indiana, and ‘Til There Was You.

The story begins with Little Street-Singing Nina escaping a cruel master by disguising herself as a cabin boy on the Bermuda-going yacht of the wealthy socialite Mrs. Van Dare. Professor Franz thinks he has found a wonderful choirboy, but, if he is disappointed when the truth of Nina’s sex come out, Mrs. Van Dare’s intended son-in-law, Jack Travers, is not. After some enjoyable misadventures on the Caribbean cruise, including false accusations and a misdirected letter, and with the passing of time, the jilted Geraldine Van Dare gets a suitable husband in the comfortable “uncle” John Thurston. Nina, now a famous Prima Donna, becomes Mrs. Travers. The comedy is played fully through the secondary couple: Geraldine’s maid, Suzette, and Thurston’s valet, Pietro. Don’t miss the opportunity to see this nostalgic, early American work. Other successful works by Friml include Rose Marie and the musical comedies: The Vagabond King and The Three Musketeers.

Casilda, the 21-year-old daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Plaza-Toro, was married at birth by proxy to the infant son and heir of the exceedingly wealthy King of Barataria. Unfortunately, the King became a rather bigoted Wesleyan Methodist, and the Grand Inquisitor, determined that such a trend should not continue, arranged for the heir to be kidnapped and taken to Venice. There he was placed in the care of a respectable gondolier who raised him alongside his own son. Now gondoliers themselves, his “sons”, Marco and Giuseppe, have recently selected a bride each, Gianetta and Tessa, from their large female following and are, therefore, upset to learn that, as heir apparent to the throne, one of them may have to sacrifice his bride in order to marry Casilda. She is not happy with the situation either as she is in love with Luiz. As Marco and Giuseppe’s “father” has since died, the only person that can truly identify the Prince is Inez, who was his childhood nurse. When called upon to make her judgement she reveals that neither is in fact the King’s son, because when the baby was kidnapped she substituted her own child in his place. Therefore, the true heir to the throne of Barataria is Luiz. This proves satisfactory to all parties, as the gondoliers can keep their brides, and Casilda can both fulfill the proxy and marry the one she loves. Children of all ages will be captivated by the charisma of The Gondoliers.

High spirits prevail aboard the H.M.S. Pinafore as Little Buttercup distributes sweets and tobacco to the crew. Ralph Rackstraw’s mind, however, is on Josephine, Captain Corcoran’s daughter. He is in love with her even though she is socially unattainable. Unaware of his affection for her, Josephine is in love with Ralph, but pride prevents her from revealing this because of his low station. Josephine is sought in marriage by Sir Joseph Porter but chooses not to acknowledge his advances. Sir Joseph holds strong views about the treatment of sailors. He maintains that a British sailor is any man’s equal (excepting his own) and should always be treated with politeness without recourse to bad language or abuse. This inspires Ralph to declare his love for Josephine, who soon forgets her pride and confesses her true feelings to him. Plans are quickly made to smuggle the couple ashore that night to be married. Dick Deadeye tries to foil the union of the couple by betraying their intentions to the Captain; as a result, they are caught before they can leave the ship. Confusion ensues, and Little Buttercup saves the situation when she confesses how, in her youth, she had fostered two babies from opposite ends of the social ladder. In the course of caring for them, she had mixed them up. The baby from the poor background was Captain Corcoran, and the other was Ralph. Upon hearing this, Sir Joseph immediately loses all interest in Josephine and gladly resigns her to Ralph, now Captain Rackstraw.

As she puts ink to paper, Jane Austen narrates her tale of Pride and Prejudice. She introduces Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, an upper-class couple in rural England, and their five eligible daughters. Mrs. Bennet is determined to marry them off, but the girls have no dowry. Jane solves the Bennets’ dilemma by bringing Mr. Bingley, a wealthy young man, to the nearby estate of Netherfield Park. Mr. Bingley is enamored with the Bennets’ eldest daughter, Jane, and is hopeful of soon seeing her happily married. As the story unfolds, we meet the snobby Mr. Darcy and the charming officer, Mr. Wickham.

The operetta begins as Robert, a young French aristocratic revolutionary, is forced to flee his country. He sells himself as a bondservant to a planter and ship owner, Monsieur Beaunoir and his family in New Orleans. As the police of Paris are looking everywhere for him, Robert cannot tell Beaunoir or his beautiful daughter Marianne, with whom he has fallen in love, that he is of noble blood. He is eventually tracked down by Vicomte Ribaud, the detective villain, and put aboard The New Moon, so he can be deported back to France. Robert thinks he has been betrayed by Marianne, who has gained her father’s consent to travel on the same ship by pretending to be in love with Captain Duval. Mutiny occurs, and the bondservants come into power. Everyone goes ashore on the Isle of Pines, and a new republic is founded, which flourishes under Robert’s guidance. Vicomte Ribaud makes a final attempt to conquer the island for the king of France, but fails. Through twists and turns, a happy reunion follows for Citizen Robert and Marianne.

The story centers in a supposed adventure of the poet Cervantes. The under-aged King of Portugal is kept away from both affairs of state and from his young Queen by the regent, Villalobos, who is plotting a coup, but the poet Cervantes and his sweetheart Irene, first lady to the queen, work together to further the interest of the young rulers. Villalobos tries to stir up discord between the King and Queen, who are really too young to be very wise, for the King has seen but nineteen years and the Queen but seventeen. Through various irregularities, the King showers attention on the charming Irene, who is too true to the Queen and her loving Cervantes to accept them. Cervantes is appointed the Queen’s reader, and her neglected heart conceives a sentiment for him, which is chiefly gratitude for his genuine friendship and sympathy. As she is an impulsive young woman, she writes on her lace handkerchief: “A Queen loves you, though you are not a King,” and hands it to him in a manuscript of Don Quixote. The manuscript is seized, and Villalobos uses the innocently inscribed handkerchief in an attempt to turn the King against his wife and Cervantes, thus regaining his power. With a bit of disguise and a few opportune explanations, the act ends happily.

In mid nineteenth-century Vienna, Gabriel von Eisenstein has been sentenced to jail for a minor offense, but his friend, Dr. Falke, persuades him to postpone his incarceration until after he has attended a party given by Prince Orlofsky. Falke is actually seeking revenge for a practical joke that Eisenstein once played on him and, as part of his strategy, has Eisenstein’s wife Rosalinda come to the party disguised so that she can observe her husband cavorting with the women. Rosalinda is excited that her husband will be out of the way in prison so that her admirer, Alfred, can visit. They are interrupted when the warden arrives looking for Eisenstein. Under Rosalinda’s prompting, Alfred agrees to pose as her husband and is carried off to jail. At the party, Falke promises to amuse the easily bored Orlofsky by staging a domestic comedy. After joining the celebration of champagne and love, Eisenstein departs at dawn for jail, where Alfred has spent the night. Slowly all the partygoers and participants in the domestic joke arrive at the prison. Now that the revenge has succeeded, Falke and Orlofsky clear up mistaken identities. Husband and wife are reconciled, and all sing a toast to champagne.

Based on The Adventures of Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes, Man of La Mancha is a comic tragedy of a man’s struggle to better both himself and the world in which he lives. When Cervantes started writing, he intended a satirical burlesque of the then-fashionable novels of chivalry. Gradually the author’s sympathies changed and the novel developed into a deeper, broader, and more compassionate account of the adventures of an eccentric idealist in a hostile, greedy, and cynical world, leading the reader to conclude that if Don Quixote is a fool, it is because the world does not live up to his ideals. This feeling is perfectly reflected in this beautiful musical version of the story. As with all the best allegorical tales, the oppressive mood of the fight against eternal evil is heightened by the sometimes comic, sometimes dramatic attempts of the hero to right all the wrongs of the world. Although his efforts sometimes seem puny and pathetic, the audience is left in no doubt as to the purity of intent that he instills into his self-imposed crusade. At times inspiring and thought-provoking, the story is both very entertaining and very moving, and will warm the heart of everyone whose spirit was ever raised by the prospect of a victory by the underdog against all odds.

Twenty-five years after her banishment from Fairyland for marrying a mortal, a crime usually punishable by death, Iolanthe has been pardoned. She had a son by this illicit marriage, Strephon, who is therefore half mortal and half fairy. He is in love with Phyllis, whom he is determined to marry. However, to do so, he needs the consent of her guardian, the Lord Chancellor, who shows little enthusiasm for the idea of his ward marrying a mere shepherd. When Strephon turns to his mother for comfort, Phyllis misinterprets their intimacy (as a fairy, Iolanthe has not physically aged beyond seventeen years) and, believing him to be unfaithful, renounces him. Although he protests that Iolanthe is his mother, his claims are met with derision by Phyllis and the peers (who are unaware of his parentage), and even the intervention of the Queen of the Fairies cannot persuade them otherwise. Furious at their attitude, the queen declares that Strephon will enter Parliament and work to overthrow all the privileges enjoyed by the nobility, a job at which he is successful. However, he finds no substitute for Phyllis, and, with no further reason to conceal it, he reveals his fairy origins to her. This explains Iolanthe’s apparent youth, and the couple becomes re-engaged. At Strephon’s request, Iolanthe puts their case to the Lord Chancellor, but has to disguise herself before doing so, as, unbeknownst to him, he is her mortal husband, and she is forbidden to enlighten him under pain of death. Unfortunately, when he declares that he has decided to marry Phyllis himself, she is forced to reveal her true identity, although this will mean forfeiting her life. However, when it emerges that the other fairies have committed the ultimate offense and married the mortal peers, the Lord Chancellor suggests that the law be amended so that it is a crime for any fairy not to marry a mortal. The Queen happily selects a mortal for herself and invites the whole company to join her in Fairyland.

The engaged couple, Alexis and Aline, want everyone to be as happy as they are. The groom-to-be brings in a “family sorcerer” to administer a love potion to the entire village. As you might expect, the potion works, but everyone falls in love with the wrong partner. All is made right at the end, however, as the sorcerer breaks the spell by the expedient of giving himself up to the powers of evil in an appropriate puff of smoke.

Duke Cacatois is planning the wedding of his son Alexis to Hermosa, the daughter of his majordomo, Romboidal, yet he meets unexpected resistance. What the duke does not know is that his son is in fact his fourth daughter, born in his absence and brought up by his wife as crown prince. Romboidal knows of this deceit, while his wife, Theodorin, also has reasons to prevent the marriage. Her husband does not know that their daughter is in truth a son who, to avoid military service, was raised as a girl. Of course, the young people have already fallen in love, and this does not change when the cross-gender role-playing comes to an end. Now there is nothing to stop the marriage.

Head waiters of the White Horse Inn in Austria have found that to fall in love with the attractive young widow who owns the establishment is a swift and certain route to dismissal. Yet none have been able to resist Josepha, least of all Leopold, the present incumbent. She pines for Dr. Otto Siedler, a visiting lawyer from Berlin and regular visitor to the inn, but she is resolutely blind to all evidence that his thoughts for her are no more than warm friendship. Siedler is incensed when he arrives and finds that his usual room has been given by a spiteful Leopold to Ottilie and her father, Herr Giesecke, a manufacturer of ladies’ underwear. Siedler’s rage is somewhat mollified when he falls hard for Ottilie who, however, has been set up for a commercially viable marriage to Sigismund, the son of Giesecke’s business rival. The eventual arrival of His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Franz Joseph, serves at first only to add to the acrimonious chaos, but finally his kindly understanding and wisdom do much to bring about the statutory happy ending, with Josepha finally realizing her true love for Leopold.

Caroline, the blind proprietress of an Austrian castle, and her daughter, Marlene, await the arrival of their son and brother Franz from a long absence at war. It is not Franz who arrives, however, but rather his friend Alwin who, unable to break the news to the women that Franz has apparently been killed in action, assumes the identity of his wartime friend. Obvious complications arise when Alwin falls in love with Marlene, and she experiences non-brotherly feelings toward him. Alwin has no choice but to reveal the ruse and be welcomed into the family as a new son.

The multi-generational story concerns the frustrated love affair of Richard and Ottilie, whose father compels her to marry instead the chronic gambler Claude. Left penniless at Claude’s death years later, she is also left hopeless as Richard has, in the meantime, married someone else. Many years pass; Ottilie has died, but her granddaughter, also named Ottilie, now runs a dressmaking business in her grandmother’s old house. Richard’s grandson drops by the shop, falls in love with Ottilie, and the two together achieve the happiness that was denied their grandparents.

Papa Chibou has come to Paris from the south of France with the idea of planting asparagus along its beautiful boulevards. Finding that such a practice is forbidden, he takes a job as watchman in a wax museum. He becomes particularly attached to a miserable statue of a man (one of his ears had come into contact with a steam radiator) wearing a three-cornered cocked hat and with his left hand shoved into his bosom. He knows nothing about this forsaken creature other than that his name is Napoleon. One spring day, Nina, a young American girl who is chaperoned by her aunt Alice, encounters at the museum the handsome Georges Dufayel, a young attorney with an extremely promising future. Papa Chibou becomes involved in their clandestine love-at-first-sight affair. What will happen when the World of Wax becomes bankrupt and Papa Chibou tries to save the statue of Napoleon from the auction block?

Set in an island paradise during World War II, two parallel love stories are threatened by the dangers of prejudice and war. Nellie, a spunky nurse from Arkansas, falls in love with a mature French planter, Emile. Nellie learns that the mother of his children was an island native and, unable to turn her back on the prejudices with which she was raised, refuses Emile’s proposal of marriage. Meanwhile, the strapping Lt. Joe Cable denies himself the fulfillment of a future with an innocent Tonkinese girl with whom he’s fallen in love out of the same fears that haunt Nellie. When Emile is recruited to accompany Joe on a dangerous mission that claims Joe’s life, Nellie realizes that life is too short not to seize her own chance for happiness, thus confronting and conquering her prejudice.

In gay Paris, a birthday party for the ruler of the imaginary land of Marsovia is in full swing. Wealthy Hanna is surrounded by suitors, to the despair of Marsovian diplomat Baron Popoff, who fears she will bankrupt their country if she marries a foreigner. He cleverly convinces Prince Danilo, the minister of finance, to woo Hanna, though the prince has been rejected once. While Hanna lavishes special attention on the prince, he feigns indifference until she announces her engagement to a Frenchman. In agony, he at last reveals his true love to Hanna and discovers with joy that her engagement is a fiction and that she shares his passionate feelings.

The two protagonists, poets in the light of the artistic movement, provide consistent amusement. Reginald Bunthorne and Archibald Grosvenor compete for the love of Patience, a mere Dairy Maid, who vows to love unselfishly, thus providing the humorous dilemma of the story. Patience, though clearly fond of Grosvenor, admits her unselfish love for Bunthorne out of mere duty. The drama, in which the Fleshly and Idyllic poets compete for the love of the Dairy Maid, continues until Bunthorne threatens to curse his rival unless he immediately becomes utterly commonplace. Grosvenor agrees and thus Patience may turn to him because he has become so ordinary. Patience can finally love him unselfishly because he is no longer perfect. Bunthorne, however, is left with nothing but his depiction as the aestetic ideal.

When Henry Higgins, a well-to-do, self-centered bachelor professor of languages, and his friend Colonel Pickering encounter raggedy flower girl Eliza Doolittle (selling flowers to passersby), Henry is inspired to make a wager with Pickering. In a mere six months, he bets, through voice and diction adjustment, he can transform this street person into a proper lady. Eliza accompanies Henry to his home on upscale Wimpole Street. Henry and Pickering eventually escort Eliza to the Ascot horse races, where she thoroughly charms wealthy young bachelor Freddy Eynsford-Hill. Henry offers little praise to Eliza for her accomplishments. Hurt and angry, Eliza returns to her squalid former life. She realizes that she wishes to have her new life back. Back on Wimpole Street, as Henryponders the surprising discovery that he misses Eliza, she enters the room. Smugly, Henry breathes a sigh of relief, hoping that life is, as he perceives it, back to normal.

The setting is 19th century Cornwall. Because of an error by the nurse Ruth, Frederic has been apprenticed to the Pirate King and is out of his indentures, having reached his 21st birthday. He falls in love with Mabel, daughter of Major General Stanley, and decides that, for the sake of society, his former associates must be exterminated. As the police expedition against the pirates is about to set out, the Pirate King informs Frederic that he was born in leap year on February 29 and that his contract states that he is apprenticed until his 21st birthday, not his 21st year. He feels honor-bound to rejoin the pirates. The pirates defeat the policemen, but submit when called upon to do so in Queen Victoria’s name. Ruth reveals that the pirates are all noblemen who have “gone wrong,” and the snobbish Major General Stanley orders them to be released and to resume their former positions. The pirates marry his daughters, and Mabel and Frederic are united.

An old law banning dueling, states that instead, contestants will draw a card, and the one drawing the lowest card will become technically and legally dead. Ludwig, leading actor of Ernest Dumkoff’s theatrical troupe, challenges the miserly Grand Duke Rudolph to such a duel and wins. Ludwig takes over the reins of government. There are soon many claimants to Ludwig’s hand: his own fiancée, the soubrette, Lisa; leading lady Julia Jellicoe; the aging Baroness, who had been married to Rudolph; and the Princess of Monte Carlo, engaged to the Grand Duke in infancy. Eventually, all is resolved when the notary Dr. Tannhauser discovers that the law states that the ace which Ludwig drew in the duel always counts low. So, Ludwig never was Grand Duke, and the couples sort themselves out to their mutual satisfaction.

The wealthy Countess Maritza owns an estate in the Hungarian borderlands, which is managed by the handsome Béla Török. Török is, in fact, really the Count Tassilo Endrödy Wittenburg. He remains incognito to pay off his family debts and earn a dowry for his sister, Lisa. Maritza announces a mock engagement to deter proposals she has been subject to, and she has chosen the phony name of her prospective bridegroom, Baron Koloman Zsupán. She gets a staggering surprise when a real Baron Zsupán turns up, all ready to fulfill his “engagement.” Tassilo, too, has some covering up to do, when it turns out that Lisa is part of the house party. After two acts of falling in love, misunderstandings and clearing up of the same misunderstandings, Maritza and Tassilo come together in a happy ending, alongside Lisa and the pig-farming Baron Zsupán.

Fragoletto, a young farmer, has turned brigand to win the heart of Fiorella, the daughter of the bandit chief Falsacappa. All three become part of a conspiracy to rob money from the Duchy of Mantua. The money is to be paid over to the representative of the government of Granada, when the country’s Princess arrives in Mantua to wed the Duke. Fiorella takes the place of the Princess, with her father impersonating the lofty Gloria-Cassis and Fragoletto as the Princess’ page. They present themselves to the Duke and his treasury, only to find that there is no money. The Duke’s secretary of treasury has spent the money courting and dining pretty ladies.

Prince Sou Chong weds the Viennese Lisa and takes her back to his homeland. There she discovers that the Prince is expected by custom to take additional Chinese brides as well. He is unable to defy his traditions, and Lisa, in spite of her love for him, cannot bend to them. Aided by Sou Chong’s sister, Mi, who longs for a taste of the freedom in the West, and by her Viennese friend Gustl, she plans an escape. The Prince catches the fleeing foreigners and realizes it would be better to let Lisa leave. Sou Chong, brokenhearted, remains to continue his rule in his country.

Giovanni Boccaccio is a poet and novelist in Florence who takes the plots of his tales of duped husbands and faithless women from his own life experience. Pietro, Prince of Palermo, arrives in Florence incognito to search out “real life”. He befriends Boccaccio who leads the Prince on some wild excursions throughout Florence. At the marriage festivities, Pietro justifies Boccaccio’s presence at the Tuscany court by announcing that he has been hired to write and stage entertainment for the royal betrothal. Boccaccio’s entertainment takes the form of a moral commedia dell’arte which charms the Duke of Tuscany. The Duke sentences Boccaccio to life imprisonment as Fiametta’s husband and is also appointed Poet Laureate to the Tuscan Court.

Public Opinion enters and informs the audience that it is her duty to society to keep the theatrical setting of this entertainment morally sound. Eurydice is bored to death with her fiddle-playing husband Orpheus and is having an affair with the shepherd Aristeus (Pluto, god of the Underworld, in disguise). Orpheus is also guilty of infidelity. He has been giving more than just violin lessons to his students. Out of spite, Orpheus sets a trap for Aristeus in a wheat field. Aristeus knows of Orpheus’ trap and uses it as a means to “kill” Eurydice, thus bringing her to Hades. As Eurydice dies, Aristeus reveals himself as Pluto, and she is delighted to accompany him to the Underworld. Orpheus is thrilled to find out about Eurydice’s recent departure. Now he can spend more time with his students. But Public Opinion insists that he go with her to Mount Olympus to plead for his wife’s return. On Olympus, Jupiter tries to instill good behavior in the other deities. His attempts are thwarted by their reminding him of his own innumerable amorous adventures. Public Opinion and Orpheus arrive. Jupiter decides to investigate the affair between Pluto and Eurydice personally and descends to the Underworld with the rest of the gods. Eurydice is kept in seclusion and guarded by the dimwitted former King of Beotia, John Styx. Eurydice, bored with her confinement, accepts the advances of Jupiter, who disguises himself as a fly to get into her room. Orpheus arrives, and Jupiter allows him to have Eurydice back, provided that he does not turn and look at her. Then, to make sure that he does look, he hurls a thunderbolt at Orpheus’ feet. Eurydice decides to become a Bacchante, and all join in the famous can-can.

Casilda, the 21-year-old daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Plaza-Toro, was married at birth by proxy to the infant son and heir of the exceedingly wealthy King of Barataria. Unfortunately, the King became a rather bigoted Wesleyan Methodist, and the Grand Inquisitor, determined that such a trend should not continue, arranged for the heir to be kidnapped and taken to Venice. There he was placed in the care of a respectable gondolier who raised him alongside his own son. Now gondoliers themselves, his “sons”, Marco and Giuseppe, have recently selected a bride each, Gianetta and Tessa, from their large female following and are, therefore, upset to learn that, as heir apparent to the throne, one of them may have to sacrifice his bride in order to marry Casilda. She is not happy with the situation either as she is in love with Luiz. As Marco and Giuseppe’s “father” has since died, the only person that can truly identify the Prince is Inez, who was his childhood nurse. When called upon to make her judgement she reveals that neither is in fact the King’s son, because when the baby was kidnapped she substituted her own child in his place. Therefore, the true heir to the throne of Barataria is Luiz. This proves satisfactory to all parties, as the gondoliers can keep their brides, and Casilda can both fulfill the proxy and marry the one she loves. Children of all ages will be captivated by the charisma of The Gondoliers.

Phoebe, the daughter of Sergeant Meryll of the Yeomen of The Guard, irritates the jailer Wilfred when she ignores him and expresses pity for the jailed Captain Fairfax who, through an inheritance scam by a scheming relative, has been condemned to death for sorcery and is to be executed this very day at the Tower of London. Meryll concocts a plan whereby his son, Leonard, arriving to join the Yeomen, will go into hiding and be impersonated by a newly-shaven, beardless, unrecognizable Fairfax, thus providing time to seek a pardon. In order to thwart his unscrupulous kinsman, Fairfax begs Tower Lieutenant Cholmondely to find him a wife. Jester Jack Point and his intended bride, the strolling singer Elsie Maynard, arrive in town; the lieutenant confronts Elsie and, with the promise of 100 crowns and an assurance to Jack that her new husband will shortly be dead, Elsie is blindfolded, whisked away, and married to Fairfax. The plan goes awry when the condemned prisoner is discovered missing from his cell. Tower housekeeper Dame Carruthers, always with a matrimonial eye on Sergeant Meryll, reveals to Fairfax the identity of his wife. Point, desperate for Elsie’s affections, announces that Fairfax has been killed in an escape attempt. The “widow” Elsie is immediately wooed by both Point and Fairfax, the latter still posing as Leonard. When the real Leonard arrives with a pardon for Fairfax, Elsie discovers that her “Leonard” is really Fairfax and that she is already married to the man she loves. Jack Point falls insensible at their feet.

ACT I: On a wintry morning, King Arthur’s court greets the arrival of Guenevere, the King’s soon-to-be bride. Arthur is nervous at becoming a bridegroom; Guenevere is more romantically inclined in her new position as Queen of England, but equally uncertain. When they meet unexpectedly, he outlines the pleasures of life in Camelot. Each charmed by the other’s lack of court etiquette and formality, they are happily married as King and Queen. Arthur’s tutor, the magician Merlyn, is lured away from Camelot and is unable to warn the King of imminent dangers. Arthur has learned the wisdom of peaceful ways from Merlyn and has brought tranquility and justice to his domain through the establishment of the celebrated Round Table. News of the Table has even reached France, engaging the sympathies of young Lancelot du Lac, who arrives at Camelot proclaiming his intentions to serve King Arthur. Lancelot, in the view of the court and Guenevere, is insufferable; she encourages the castle knights to challenge him to a joust. Arthur tries to dissuade her from siding against Lancelot, but the Queen is adamant. Lancelot is victorious, exhibiting a strange power of faith and purity, thereby gaining the respect of the court and of the Queen. His feelings towards Guenevere speedily develop into a deep but silent love, putting to test the principles of the Round Table and Lancelot’s true love for the King he serves.

ACT II: Two years pass – Lancelot and Guenevere still strive to conceal their love. Arthur is aware of their feelings, but covers his resentment to preserve peace in Camelot. Rumors of the relationship attract the young squire Mordred, Arthur’s illegitimate son, who loathes Arthur’s dreams of peace and intends to disrupt the kingdom in the hope that he may ascend to the throne. Through Mordred’s scheme, Arthur is trapped in the enchanted forest of Mordred’s aunt, Morgan Le Fey, who casts a sleeping spell over the King. Lancelot visits Guenevere in her chambers, where Mordred overhears them confess their love and accuses them of treason. Lancelot escapes, but Guenevere is sentenced to burn at the stake. At the last moment, Lancelot rescues Guenevere and takes her to France, and Arthur is forced to make war on his friend. Just before their final battle, Arthur meets both Guenevere and Lancelot, and discovers that they are no longer together. Realizing that all he has fought for is gone, Arthur forgives Guenevere. He discovers a young stowaway who aspires to join the Round Table. He knights the boy and sends him back to England, charging him, when he grows up, to tell another generation of the noble ideas of Camelot.

Anglophile King Paramount, who rules over the island kingdom of Utopia, has sent his daughter, Princess Zara, to be educated in England – for him, the greatest, most powerful, and wisest country in the world.  She returns with six Flowers of Progress, who remodel Utopia on English principles.  The island becomes “swamped by dull prosperity” and, led by Paramount’s advisors, rises in revolt against the British intruders.  Zara forestalls all-out rebellion by introducing party politics, which allows the flourishing of “healthy” graft and squalor.  Gilbert misses no opportunity to hammer his normal share of institutions:  Parliament, big business, and party politics.  Sullivan’s musical highlights include an engaging duet for two princesses and a remarkable “minstrel” ensemble replete with tambourines.

The story, set in 1920s Holland, revolves around Julia and Hanna, two young women coming of age who have been searching for romance in their lives. Julia tells of her relationship with a childhood sweetheart. A stranger, who is thought to be Julia’s young love, visits Julia and Hanna but is reluctant to reveal his identity. The two young ladies’ intrigues are further complicated by the arrival of a second stranger. If you enjoy the lyric romance of Franz Lehár’s music, you will be thrilled with the endearing score of Eduard Künneke’s ‘The Cousin from Batavia.’

Forgoing the light-hearted atmosphere of champagne in Die Fledermaus and gondoliers in A Night in Venice, Johann Strauss, in The Gypsy Baron, turned to a less frivolous Hungarian tale of gypsies, lost treasures, and class conflict. The dizzying array of toe-tapping tunes – rollicking, romantic, and sentimental – attests to Strauss’ success in combining the best of the Viennese waltz and Hungarian gypsy rhythms. Government officials have returned to Barinkay dispossessed family property. Neighboring pig farmer Zsupán tries successfully to interest him in a tactical marriage with his beautiful daughter Arsena. She, however, will accept nothing less than a baron for her husband. When Barinkay is ennobled as baron by a band of gypsies, but is still refused by Arsena, he plights himself to the gypsy girl Saffi, but backs off when he learns that she is the daughter of a Hungarian pasha. He joins the Hussars, returns as a war hero, and gets the girl – but which one? From the instantly recognizable “Treasure Waltz” to Barinkay’s remarkable catalogue aria in which he enumerates his past occupations to an anvil chorus reminiscent of Verdi, this is Viennese operetta at its most engaging.
