(Zehn Mddchen und kein Mann)
(first broadcast)
Suppe's one-act operetta in a new orchestration by Oliver Broome and translation by DON WHITE and GEORGE HAUGER
Suppé has been referred to as the Viennese
Offenbach ', for during his lifetime his operettas rivalled those of Offenbach and enjoyed great popularity.
Zehn Mädchen und kein Mann dates from 1862 and was first performed at the Quai Theatre, Vienna, where Supp6 was musical director. It seems to have been the first of his operettas to be heard in England, in 1871, but prior to the Harrow
Opera Workshop in 1978 and the Guildhall School's production in February 1981, had not been heard in this country for a century.
