Among his most renowned works are "The Student Prince" (1924), "The Desert Song" (1926), and "The New Moon" (1928). During the early stages of his career, Romberg collaborated with the Shubert brothers, composing music for their musicals and revues. Notably, he crafted several pieces for the famed entertainer Al Jolson. Additionally, Romberg adapted numerous European operettas for American audiences while working with the Shuberts. Two noteworthy successes from this period include "Maytime" (1917) and "Blossom Time" (1921). Romberg's three major operettas from the mid-1920s, mentioned previously, adhere to the traditional style of Viennese operetta. However, his other compositions from this era often incorporate elements of American musical theater styles. Beyond the stage, Romberg also lent his musical talents to film scores, showcasing his versatility and lasting impact on the entertainment industry. .
