CHICK FOWLER (entertainer) Balfe's gift of simple melody and a confident knowledge of vocal effect, gained in his own experience as a singer, makes The Bohemian Girl a classic of its kind. The story, modelled on Cervantes' Preciosa, is briefly this. Thaddaeus (tenor) is an exiled nobleman who throws in his lot with the gypsy band led by Devilshoof (bass). The gypsies carry off the child Arline (soprano), who grows up to become the Bohemian girl of the title. She and Thaddaeus love one another, and despite the wiles of the gypsy Queen, who has also lost her heart to Thaddaeus, are happily united at last. Arline's father, Count Arnheim (baritone) gives his consent on learning that the bride-groom is also of noble rank.
