The Mount Vernon Players: Our club member and Washington, D.C. rep, Darryl Winston, runs a wonderful theater group that regularly produces the Mac/Eddy operettas. If you're going to be in D.C., check out the local events. Here's an excerpt from the Washington Post review of the recent Naughty Marietta production: "Victor Herbert's "Naughty Marietta" from 1910 is nearing its centennial, but it sounded as fresh as this morning's sunrise in a production that just ended a long run....The singing was excellent -- much better than one expects in a community theater production (the Mount Vernon Players, founded in 1936, are the oldest continuously operating community theater in Washington). This quality was achieved by hard work; Winston auditioned four casts before making his final selection."

 jeanetteandnelson.com "A SCANDALOUS AFFAIR--The Secret Love Story of Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy" Operatic soprano Hallie Neill and her husband Metropolitan Opera Baritone Theodore Lambrinos portray Jeanette and Nelson with dialogue written by Miss Neill inspired by the book, "Sweethearts". This new DVD is of the live performance given on Nelson's birthday, June 29, 2006 to a sold-out theater of 800 people! "Both Miss Neill and Mr. Lambrinos possess beautiful voices, tossing off the difficult operatic pieces and singing the operatic selections in a style truly reminiscent of the famed duo they celebrate. Using their rare gift for comedy and a great love of singing, the real-life husband and wife team of Neill and Lambrinos bring life to the surprise story of MacDonald & Eddy!" Robin Stamper, Artistic Director, Nevada Opera performance.
