MOZART modestly called The Impresario
'a comedy with music.' It is all about the trials and troubles of a theatrical manager who has to put up with the foibles and jealousies of ' star ' performers.
The Opera in its original form only had occasional performances, owing chiefly to a good deal of foolish dialogue which it contained. Adaptations were tried with but little success. until Mr. Kingsley Lark recently made a new translation and arrangement from the original German, and the work in this improved form was broadcast a year or two ago.
