Hidden Passions, Secret Fantasy and Romantic Intrigue.
The essence of unrequited love will leave you breathless, enchanted and wanting more in this Franz Lehar romantic comedy.

Soprano Rachel Cobb returns from her success as Mimi in last season’s La Bohème to lead a cast of zany, energetic characters through this adult fairy tale that dances, laughs and sings from the heart.

Imagine yourself in the early 20th century. Young love means love lost, money is power gained, and the potential of having them all come together at once is finally a possibility—but at what cost?

Nightclubs, dancing girls, secret rendezvous and mistaken identities are the backdrops for this timeless love story that will bring tears of joy.
