Firefly, The (1912), a “comedy opera” by Otto
Harbach (book, lyrics), Rudolf
Friml (music). [Lyric Theatre, 120 perf.] To flee from her drunken guardian, the young street urchin Nina Corelli ( Emma
Trentini) disguises herself as a boy and boards a yacht headed for Bermuda. On board are Jack Travers ( Craig Campbell) and his bitchy fiancée, Geraldine Van Dare ( Audrey Maple). Nina falls in love with Jack but cannot disclose her real identity. However, when she is mistaken for a sought pickpocket she is forced to reveal that she is a girl. A kindly musician, who has heard her sing, sends her to Europe to be educated. Nina returns as a celebrated prima donna and marries Jack.
Notable songs: Giannina Mia; Love Is Like a Firefly; Sympathy. The Arthur
Hammerstein– produced operetta was originally to have had a score by Victor
Herbert, but after a series of rows with Trentini, Herbert asked to be released from his contract. The score was Friml's first and won him immediate recognition.
