Opera in three acts
Music by Thomas Arne (died 1778)
Arne wrote his operatic masterpiece in 1762 using his own English translation of a Metastasio libretto. It is a unique amalgam of the Italian and English styles. Haydn was delighted by it: he
' had no idea we had such an opera in the English language'. Modern listeners may be similarly surprised.
