| | An operetta is a form of a play acted out on stage with music in the form of songs and choruses. | | | Operettas are more like operas than musicals in this regard, though because the situations are happy, the music is much lighter, and on the whole, snappier and tuneful. | | | Almost all forms of stage musicals - Grand Opera, Operettas, or Broadway - are love stories. |

I was not prepared for the impact these exquisitely crafted recordings would have on me. |

| | This is an outstanding collection of Gordon MacRae solos (with chorus) from his 1950s 10” LP operettas as well as the musical comedy “Roberta”. | | | Gordon’s handling of the melody and the philandering lyric of “Maxim's” exhibits both European decadence and American virility, which only he could get away with. | | | This collection is important because it supplies a sample of his “Merry Widow” 10” album which has never been re-released. |

| | Rees described Bass as “a mercurial, ever-curious man. I had done a Mendelssohn evening with him and what I like very much is that he wants to explore various forms of the voice and music relationship. | | | Her voice is particularly suited to this material and that turned into her show I directed, ‘Here Lies Jenny.’ Weill didn’t always want his stuff sung by operatic voices so what happens with Collegiate Chorale is we’re able to do all these different disciplines of the voice and music, like this operetta concert.” | | | This Renaissance man of the theater moved to New York in 1989, favoring our shores with his varied work as director and actor. |
