The Lady of the Slipper

Lady of the Slipper, The,
the operetta composer Victor Herbert's version of the Cinderella story. Premièred in New York in 1912, the show is not generally counted among the composer's great successes. Nevertheless, a combination of his talent and a sumptuous production by Charles Dillingham ensured a run of 232 performances.
