EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard invites us to step into the world of "The Chocolate Soldier," a musical comedy production that once graced the stage of the Opera House in Cork, Ireland. Originally staged at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London, this enchanting show starred the renowned actor Horace Percival and featured music by the esteemed composer Oscar Straus. The Chocolate Soldier, with its lively score and delightful comedy, tells the story of a wealthy Englishman who disguises himself as a chocolate soldier to win the heart of his beloved. The production, which also featured the talents of Sidney Foster, was a huge success in both London and Cork, bringing joy and entertainment to audiences on both sides of the Irish Sea. The image on this postcard captures the essence of the production, with its vibrant colors and playful scene of the chocolate soldier, depicted here in orange and brown, standing proudly against a backdrop of the Opera House in Cork. The ornate detailing of the building and the soldier's polished uniform add to the sense of grandeur and excitement that surrounded this beloved musical comedy. Whether you were lucky enough to see "The Chocolate Soldier" live or are simply intrigued by the magic of the theatre, this postcard is a delightful reminder of the enchanting world of musical comedy and the enduring appeal of live performance.
