3 Acts, with ballet based

libretto and essays £26
post free
This opera was premièred
in London as the second of
Balfe’s early English
opera successes.
With melodious music and reconstructed
score, this is only the second
Balfe opera to appear in the
CD catalogue.
The quality of Balfe’s
music was known to Beecham
who turned to his ‘Bohemian
Girl’ to represent British
operatic interests for the
Festival of Britain in 1951.
