New York, NY (PRWEB) October 20, 2014 -- Victor Herbert Renaissance Project LIVE!, the world's only production company uniquely devoted to American music composer Victor Herbert, begins its first-ever season with a kick-off concert titled Art Is Calling For Me on November 20, 2014 followed by a performance of Herbert's stunning 1899 operetta Cyrano de Bergerac on February 26, 2015 and concluding with America’s finest operetta Naughty Marietta, April 23, 2015. The performances will be at 8pm in Christ & St. Stephen’s Church, 120 W. 69th St, NYC, NY.
