Lisa

 Music by Fritz Kreisler, adapted by Ronald Hanmer, libretto adapted by John Grimsey, lyrics by Tommy Connor

---

Based on a famous operetta, which was adapted for the Grace Moore film as The King Steps Out, this is the real-life story of the romance between the young Franz Josef of Austria and Princess Elizabeth of Bavaria. The score is rich in melody, one of the best-loved songs being "Stars In Your Eyes" - which appears in this version as "Three Magic Words". Plenty of work here for the whole company - and some minor parts for children in the first act.

Principals: 8 female, 11 male

Instrumentation: flute, oboe, 2 clarinets, bassoon, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, percussion, harp, strings

Vocal Score and Libretto available on hire only
