    • Quotes

      Warrington: Now let's talk this over as one mudlark to another...

      Marietta: I do not wish to be included in that.

      Warrington: ...but that was no street singers' warbling, Blue Eyes. The quality of those tones was something...

      Marietta: I used to appear at the Opera Comique.

      Warrington: I see, until the manager wished for you to appear as Lady Godiva and you refused.

      Marietta: Yes, something like that, yes.

    Light and happy operetta

    This is truly one of my favorite classics. My grandmother gave it to me when I was five, after she saw my interest in and love of opera and musicals. It is light and romantic with some absolutely lovely duets between McDonald and Eddy. Though not as passionate and dark like the more modern musicals, it is quite charming and worth seeing.
