The .libretto is typical of the period and is by Nahun Tate, Who was Poet Laureate from 1692 to 1715. This interesting opera is presented in. English, with Nancy Evans ‘singing the part of Dido and Roy Henderson singing the part of Aeneas, with chorus and courtiers, witches and.sailors rendered’ by Charles Kennedy Scott’s A Cappella Choir.

Unfortunately he forgets how to undo the spell, and the house soon begins to get flooded. He chops the broomstick in two, but that only makes things worse, for each half then does the work of one. The magician returns only just in time to save his apprentice and the house. 10. 0 CLOSE DOWN

It is one of the twenty-four operas the composer wrote over a period of amazing industry lasting seventeen years. Mehul also composed many cantatas and songs during this period. Only the Overture of "Young Henry’s Hunt" survives, and it will be found to be a merry piece which describes its subject largely by the use of actual old tunes and calls for the ‘Hunting Horn. 9.33 Clem Williams (baritone), "On Yonder Rock Reclining " Auber 9.36 The Philadelphia Orchestra, " Alceste," "Prelude" and "Thesee" March ....
