Complete book and lyrics to the classic operetta. Hailed as the great American operetta of the pre-World War I era, Naughty Marietta opened to glowing reviews. The New York Times proclaimed it a "sensational successes." Out of the forty operettas Victor Herbert wrote, Naughty Marietta was among his most successful and longest-running. It endured in popularity for over fifty decades and became a staple of musical theatre companies across the globe. Now available for the first time in print, the libretto incorporates all things operetta; old world settings, disguised swashbuckling noblemen, romantic passions, comic subplots and narrative twists where love triumphs all.
