The Story: Chloe Vane gets bored with her convent-school at Marseilles, and when you come to think of it, what Operatic heroine wouldn't? A maid of infinite resource, moreover, she disguises herself as a cabin-boy on the good ship Mermaid in order to reach England.
This merry and amusing libretto is wedded to a very charming ' score.' Much of the music is traditional, in using which, Mr. Gerrard Williams follows the lead of Gay, Dibden and other past masters, as well as several moderns. Altogether, an engagingly light-hearted affair.
