- Biography
- Otto Harbach, librettist and lyricist, was born Otto Hauerbach in Salt Lake City. He was educated at Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois and went on to teach English at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington. Moving to New York in 1901, Harbach (who changed the spelling of his name in 1917) began writing for the theater. In 1908 he produced his first hit, THREE TWINS, in collaboration with Karl Hoschna. Over the course of his career, Harbach had over 50 works produced on Broadway; for most of them he wrote both the book and the lyrics. Among his collaborators were the composers Karl Hoschna, Rudolf Friml, Jerome Kern, Louis Hirsch, Herbert Stothart, Vincent Youmans and Sigmund Romberg, and the lyricists Oscar Hammerstein, Irving Caesar, Frank Mandel, and John Murray Anderson. Harbach's most well-known works include the songs Love Nest, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, Indian Love Call, One Alone, Rose Marie, The Night Was Made For Love, and the plays THE FIREFLY, ROBERTA, ROSE MARIE, NO, NO, NANETTE, The DESERT SONG and THE CAT AND THE FIDDLE. Harbach was a charter member of The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP). He was married to Ella Smith Dougall, with whom he had two sons, Robert and William.
