This early success was soon followed by others, and in the 1920's his popularity in musical theater was unsurpassed. In this book, William Everett offers the first detailed study of the gifted operetta composer, examining Romberg's key works and musical accomplishments and demonstrating his lasting importance in the history of American musicals. Romberg composed nearly sixty works for musical theater as well as music for revues, for musical comedies, and, later in life, for Hollywood films. Everett shows how Romberg was a defining figure of American operetta in the 1910's and 1920's (Maytime, Blossom Time, The Student Prince), traces the new model for operetta that he developed with Oscar Hammerstein II in the late 1920's (The Desert Song, The New Moon), and looks at his reworked style of the 1940's (Up in Central Park). This book offers an illuminating look at Romberg's Broadway career and legacy. 410 0$aYale Broadway masters. 606 $aOperetta$zUnited States$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aOperetta 676 $a782.1/2092 676 $aB 700 $aEverett$b William A.$f1962-$0923373 701 $aBlock$b Geoffrey Holden$f1948-$0936001 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452085503321 996 $aSigmund Romberg$92485115 997 $aUNINA
