Sigmund Romberg's "My Maryland" July 15, 2011

Canton Comic Opera Company presents "My Maryland", a thrilling tale of romance, love and betrayal set amongst the turmoil of the Civil War. Barbara Frietchie, the belle of Frederick, Maryland, is courted by two suitors: the fiery Southern Jack Negley and the Connecticut Captain Will Trumbull. When Trumbull is gravely wounded in battle, she is forced to choose between her loyalty to her unflagging Southern father and friends or her undying love for one of the enemy. Tense drama and endless laughs abound, but will true love and happiness prevail amidst the bloodshed? The smash hit of 1927, from the composer of The Student Prince and The Desert Song, My Maryland features a soaring score with the stirring patriotic anthem“Your Land and My Land.” With a cast of 50 and a 35-piece orchestra, don’t miss this lost masterpiece of American Musical Theatre!
