Program Notes

The Student Prince is an operetta in four acts with music by Sigmund Romberg and book and lyrics by Dorothy Donnelly. It is based on Wilhelm Meyer-Förster's play Old Heidelberg. The piece has elements of melodrama but lacks the swashbuckling style common to Romberg's other works. The plot is mostly faithful to its source.

Opening on December 2, 1924, the show was the most successful of Romberg's works, running for 608 performances. Drinking Song, with its rousing chorus of Drink! Drink! Drink! was especially popular with theatergoers in 1924, as the United States was in the midst of Prohibition. The operetta contains the challenging tenor aria The Serenade (Overhead the moon is beaming).
