Sigmund Romberg
Sigmund Romberg (July 29, 1887 – November 9, 1951) was a Hungarian-born American composer renowned for his contributions to musical theatre, particularly operettas. Born Siegmund Rosenberg in Nagykanizsa, Austria-Hungary, he moved to Vienna to study engineering while also taking composition lessons. In 1909, Romberg emigrated to the United States, where he initially worked in a pencil factory before becoming a pianist in New York City cafés.

Romberg's musical career took off when he was hired by the Shubert brothers to compose music for Broadway shows. His first successful Broadway revue was "The Whirl of the World" in 1914. He became well-known for adapting European operettas for American audiences, with notable works including "Maytime" (1917) and "Blossom Time" (1921). His most famous operettas, "The Student Prince" (1924), "The Desert Song" (1926), and "The New Moon" (1928), are celebrated for their romantic plots and melodic richness, reminiscent of Viennese operettas.

Romberg also composed music for films and continued to write for Broadway into the 1940s. His last major work was the musical comedy "Up in Central Park" (1945). In addition to his theatrical work, Romberg conducted orchestral arrangements of his music for Columbia Records from 1945 to 1950. His legacy endures through his timeless contributions to musical theatre.
