Victor Herbert wrote hundreds of songs both located within theatrical works (operetta, musical comedy and opera). Over the years we have found the best way to organize individual songs is by voice. Hopefully you know your range so look for songs in your range category.
The other very important detail is that all of these songs are in their original key. Herbert wrote for particular singers 100% of the time. He was not happy with the wrong voice attempting to change the key of a song to fit a certain voice. We are not the web site to be exploring if you want to change a particular key so you can sing. (Example: Capt Dick in Naughty Marietta was written as a high tenor; Herbert would never have allowed Nelson Eddy or Alfred Drake to sing any of Capt. Dick’s or Adah’s songs for that matter.)
If you explore the Internet, you will find people to transpose any song for you. Just stop looking here.
