THE DESERT SONG SA Light Opera Society (SALOS) Tower Arts Theatre Musical -- Note this is an archived listing for performances in the year 2017 -- Written By: Otto Harbach, Oscar Hammerstein II and Frank Mandel, Music by Sigmund Romberg Directed By: Brian Godfrey Directed by well-known Adelaide theatre personality Brian Godfrey, The Desert Song promises to be a fun night out. A General has been sent to Morocco to root out and destroy the Riff bandits. Especially their daredevil leader, known as the Red Shadow. He can look for little help from his milksop son, Pierre, who spends all his time mooning over the Captain’s fiancée, the lovely Margot. But Margot secretly yearns to be swept into the arms of some bold, dashing sheik, perhaps even the Red Shadow himself? To her surprise, when her Eastern hero does in fact abduct her he treats her with every Western consideration. And when this Moroccan Robin Hood comes face to face with the General, he surprisingly refuses to fight the old man. A sinuous and secretive native dancing girl, Azuri, might be persuaded to answer some of these riddles if only she can be made sufficiently drunk. It seems all very serious, but there are plenty of laughs too. The writing of Otto Harbach, Oscar Hammerstein II and Frank Mandel, combined with the music of Sigmund Romberg makes for a great musical night out. Approx.
