Victor Herbert’s THE ENCHANTRESS with VHRP LIVE

The Prince has come of age. Time to marry — but which Princess shall he choose? From the bevy presented to him, where does true love come in? Add to that dilemma, all manner of devious advisors who wouldn’t mind sitting on his throne themselves. Then there’s that divine, delicious non-royal Enchantress. What’s a fellow to do? Here’s the all time most requested Herbert aria, “Art Is Calling For Me,” along with “The Land of My Own Romance,” “Rose, Lucky Rose,” not to mention “They All Look Good When They’re Far Away.” The New Victor Herbert Orchestra and VHRP LIVE! weave an evening of raucous intrigue and romantic love, sprinkled with a healthy dash of that new 1911 craze, “dance!”
