Scope and Content Note
The Isobel Stone Operettas span from 1932 to 1957. The Operettas series contains unpublished libretti and holograph piano-vocal scores and lead sheets for sixteen of her operettas. Stone provides brief descriptions on the title pages, such as "A Bavarian grand opera" for The Midnight King and "A French play with music, or play in verse" for Sister Magdalene. Not all libretti are complete; in some instances, the materials are select pages of changes and additions she submitted to the Library of Congress following her initial submissions for copyright.
