’Victor Herbert (1859-1924) was a composer of countless operettas and musicals, a celebrated conductor and virtuoso cellist. He played in the Metropolitan Opera orchestra, conducted the Pittsburgh Symphony, co-founded ASCAP. His own Victor Herbert Orchestra was a huge draw on national tours.’ - John Ostendorf

Italian Street Song is a popular song written by Victor Herbert (music) and Rida Johnson Young (lyrics) in 1910. The song was written for and introduced in the operetta Naughty Marietta, which originally opened in Syracuse, New York on October 24, 1910.

Since 1935, the song has been most closely associated with Jeanette MacDonald, who played the lead role of ‘Marietta’ in the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film version of the operetta that was released in that year.
