This much-loved "Arabian Night" set in a mythical Baghdad, features a lush score adapted from the melodies of Alexander Borodin and a story that concerns itself with an inventive poet-scoundrel, his beautiful daughter, a wicked Wazir and his man-hungry wife. Derring-do, comedy and a mood of mystical romance proved a unique mix, and produced such standards as "Stranger in Paradise", "And This is My Beloved", and "Baubles, Bangles and Beads".
