$25.00


THE FORTUNE TELLER
by Victor Herbert

This is the world-premiere recording of the complete score and includes five songs that Herbert wrote for the show but which did not appear in the 1898 Broadway opening. Music Director Adam Aceto restored the original orchestrations and conducts a full orchestra and 55-person chorus. This comic opera contains two of the most recognizable gypsy songs in American musical theatre: “Romany life” and “Gypsy love song.”
