Bird Seller, The (Der Vogelhaendler)


Composer: Zeller, Carl

Version: Operatic Society version Music by Carl Zeller Adapted by Hans May Original book and lyrics by M. West and L. Held Book by Bruce Walker Lyrics by Fred S. Tysh

Set in the colourful milieu of Bavaria, this is a story of two young lovers - Trudie, the village postmistress, and Adam, a handsome bird seller from the Tyrol - who, at cross-purposes, become embroiled in romantic complications at the Court of the reigning Prince. The highly entertaining intrigues and misunder-standings - involving quite a number of distinctive characters - are eventually sorted out to the accompaniment of some of Zeller’s brightest and most liltingly-tuneful music
