In Act 1. Colonel Blandford and the Cherokee Chiefs conclude a treaty.and bury the hatchet. Malooko, in his hatred for Blandford, returns, disinters it and plots the destruction of Bland. ford and all the English settlers.

STEPHEN STORACE , a short-lived composer of English Opera (lie died at thirty-three), was the son of a clever Italian player of the Double Bass, who settled in England in the second halt of the eighteenth century.
The Cherokee, first heard at Christmas. 1794, and revived in 1802, has probably not been produced since then. Listeners have here an excellent opportunity of getting an idea of typical English Opera at the end of the eighteenth century.
