A lively, late-19th-century stage musical burlesque about a Paris‑bound debutante and the comic men who fall for her.
This edition presents a full script of Frilby an Operatic Burlesque, a satirical revue of theater, art, and Parisian nightlife, filled with songs, sketches, and lively ensemble numbers.
