Biography
Operetta composer SIGMUND ROMBERG (1887-1951) had achieved earlier success with The Student Prince in Heidelberg in 1924 and its popularized numbers, "The Drinking Song" and "Serenade". As the public support of the operetta musical declined, Romberg went on to conduct his own radio show and Broadway scores. His last complete Broadway musical was My Romance in 1948. Born in Hungary, Romberg had studied engineering in Vienna before journeying to America in 1909, at which time he went to work as a staff composer for J.J. Shubert (1914), for whom he composed song revues, including Auf Wiedersehen (1915).
