An Evening of Gay Opersa (1944) - repro

This specialized historical musicological asset tracks 'An Evening of Gay Operetta', the highly unique mid-century theatrical concert retrospective compilation spectacular mounted across select regional houses in 1944. Completely discarding traditional linear book structures, the fast-paced performance pieces together an episodic parade of soaring symphonic chorals and romantic waltz numbers excavated from the classic European light opera catalogs, celebrating an era of melodic escape for wartime family audiences.
