Haydn’s twenty-four operas (including five for representation in marionette shows) are seldom discussed by his biographers, for the simple reason that very little seems to be known about them in English-speaking countries. But we can rest assured that a man with such a genial character and such a love of fun as Haydn would be equal to composing what to-day we would call musical comedies. Haydn’s thirteen Italian operas were all produced within a quarter of a century (1769-1794) and "The World on the Moon" was one of them.
