Sigmund Romberg
Sigmund Romberg, the Hungarian-born American composer, enchanted audiences with his timeless operettas and musicals. Born on July 29, 1887, in Nagykanizsa, Hungary, Romberg's musical prowess was evident from an early age. Despite his parents' initial push for a more "sensible" career, he pursued his passion, studying in Vienna before serving in the Hungarian army and eventually emigrating to the United States. There, he became a staff composer for the Shubert brothers, crafting some of the most beloved works of the 20th century, including "The Student Prince," "The Desert Song," and "The New Moon." Romberg's compositions, though less performed today, remain a testament to his enduring talent and contribution to American musical theater.
