Bitter Sweet

A timeless journey into the romance and sophistication of a bygone era.

Love, passion, and music intertwine in Bitter Sweet, Noël Coward's celebrated operetta of romance and regret.

Set against the glittering elegance of 19th-century Vienna and Edwardian London, the story follows Sarah Millick, a young Englishwoman who forsakes a life of privilege to elope with her dashing music teacher, Carl Linden. Their love story, filled with joy and heartbreak, unfolds through some of Coward's most exquisite melodies, including I'll See You Again, If Love Were All, and Dear Little Café.

Since its triumphant premiere in 1929, Bitter Sweet has captivated audiences with its sweeping score and poignant storytelling, blending Coward's signature wit with the grandeur of classic operetta. This edition presents the complete libretto, preserving the charm and elegance of one of Coward's most enduring works.
