Posters for The Fortune Teller
This colorful and vivid poster is for the touring production of The Fortune Teller (1898), one of Herbert’s most popular and beloved works. As the title suggests, the music has an exotic and Gypsy-like quality. One of the best-known songs in the musical is the “Gypsy Love Song.” Alice Neilson (1872–1943), Victor Herbert’s first great prima donna, became a Broadway star in Herbert's The Serenade (1897). After several years of touring with her own company during the early years of the twentieth century, Nielson became a celebrated grand opera star, who performed with the Metropolitan Opera, among other noted opera companies
