From GROSVENOR HOUSE, PARK LANE rpHE idea of setting an operatic text
JL to music selected from the works of one composer has often been carried out, but seldom with any great success. The music of Tohaikovsky, Chopin, and even Offenbach has been put to this purpose in operettas that had but a short life. Lilac Time is, however, the exception. It is an ironie fact that of nil the operatic texts set to Schubert's music, and he set many, the only one to succeed is the ono he didn't set.
