Naughty Marietta

Naughty Marietta is a comic opera written by Rida Johnson Young and first published in 1910. The story takes place in New Orleans in the 18th century and follows the adventures of Marietta, a mischievous and headstrong young woman who falls in love with a French nobleman named Captain Dick. However, their romance is threatened by the arrival of the Spanish governor who wants to marry Marietta himself. With the help of her friends and a group of pirates, Marietta must navigate the social and political obstacles in order to be with the man she loves. The opera features a lively score by Victor Herbert, including the popular songs ""Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life"" and ""Italian Street Song"".
