The Victor Herbert Renaissance Project LIVE! presents
Heart O' Mine, an Irish-themed virtual concert with works by American musical theatre foundation, Victor Herbert (1859-1924) and his grandfather, Irish Renaissance artist Samuel Lover (1797-1868). Herbert's passion for composing music grew from Lover's!
When Covid-19 threw theatre a curve in 2020, VHRP LIVE! answered with a bold excursion into the world of virtual video creation. First aired in November 2020, nine singers scattered across the country, rose to the challenge by performing songs in complete isolation, including "Molly," "Mary Came Over to Me," "Cruiskeen Lawn," and "The Irish Have a Great Day Tonight."
