Song of Norway
April 28, 1945

A loving and quasi-fictional biography of revered Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg, cast as a romantic operetta by Robert Wright and George Forrest. The show enjoyed unheard-of success for an operetta in the 1940's, running for 860 performances during the same period on Broadway as Oklahoma!. Choreographed by a young George Balanchine and starring Irra Petina, Helena Bliss, Lawrence Brooks, and Robert Shafer.
