Opera in three acts by Samuel Barber based on Shakespeare's play
This concert performance was mounted by Radio
France last September to mark Barber's 70th birthday year; sadly, he died four months later. The opera was commissioned for the opening of the new
Metropolitan Opera House, New York. in 1966. Barber published a revised version in 1976, used in this first European performance. He adorns Shakespeare's text with an appropriate mixture of lyricism and splendour.
