description The Geisha Overview
The Geisha is a musical comedy by English composer Sidney Jones that opened at Daly's Theatre in London on April 25, 1896, with additional music by Lionel Monckton and lyrics by Harry Greenbank. Set in a Japanese teahouse, the story reflects the Victorian-era fascination with East Asian themes and centers on romantic intrigues among the teahouse staff and their foreign visitors. The production ran for 760 performances, making it one of the longest-running musical shows of the 1890s in London. It was subsequently performed throughout Europe and in translation, and selections from its score remained in light opera repertory into the 20th century.
