Herbert Hit of 1913
A contemporary critic pronounced The Madcap Duchess, a love story set in eighteenth-century France, “as old-fashioned as a bunch of garden pinks, and as sweet.” The operetta has not enjoyed lasting success although it was considered a hit at the time and critics praised Herbert’s music.
