On November 7, 1667, both Charles II and Samuel Pepys attended the first performance of The Tempest; or, the Enchanted Island,' adapted to contemporary taste by Dryden and Davenant . A few years later Thomas Shadwell revised it into an opera, 'having all new in it; all things performed so admirably well, that not any succeeding opera got more money.' The preface to this evening's performance describes the conditions in which it was originally produced.
