The Fortune Teller
The Fortune Teller (1898) is the most important work Herbert created during his first decade of work as a stage composer. After a brief tryout in Toronto, the show opened in New York to an enthusiastic reception. It toured the United States for almost a year and was presented in London in 1901 and Melbourne, Australia, in 1903. The plot involves a band of gypsies, and perhaps the operetta’s most famous number is “The Gypsy Love Song.”
