Overview

Victor Herbert is one of the giants of American culture. As a musician, conductor, and, above all, composer, he touched every corner of American musical life at the turn of the twentieth century. Neil Gould draws on his own experience as a director, producer, and scholar to craft a portrait of the Irish immigrant whose extraordinary talents defined the sounds of a generation and made contemporary musical theater possible.
