Adele’s Audition Aria, by Strauss, from Die Fledermaus
Always Do As People Say You Should, by Herbert,
from The Fortune Teller
The Yeomen of England, by German, from Merrie England
Thine Alone, by Herbert, from Eileen
And others”

Second Half

“Monsieur Choufleuri (1861) The complete one-act operetta by Jacques Offenbach (1819 - 1880) in a new English translation by Sigourney B. Romaine, Jr., with assistance from Paula Cianci and Carol Davis.

Boy loves girl, girl loves boy, girl’s father dislikes boy, girl & boy hatch an ingenious plan. Gorgeous music and hilariously funny scenes mark this as a comic opera masterpiece.”
