Im Chambre séparée

Richard Heuberger (1850-1914) was an Austrian composer, music critic, and teacher. He wrote several operas, ballets, choral works, and songs and was a prominent figure in the Viennese musical scene.

Heuberger is best known for ‘Der Opernball’ (‘The Opera Ball’), an operetta in three acts on a libretto by Viktor Léon and Heinrich von Waldberg. The most famous number from the operetta is the waltz duet ‘Geh'n wir in's Chambre séparée’. Dutch arranger Jos van de Braak transcribed this duet for soprano, tenor and Symphonic Band.
