Later it was his dream to create an American equivalent to the ''Fledermaus'', which he achieved with the Musical ''My Fair Lady'' (1958) by creating a synthesis of American and European sound with audience-pleasing wit (Example, Excerpt from the Overture) and made him incredibly popular. His melodious musical lines and easy mastery of the classical Musical (where, as in films, music is toned down in places where the show requires the full attention of the audience) bear witness to his professionalism which sometimes aroused jealousies.
