Henry Purcell: Dioclesian (Vocal Score)

Beskrivning

This, the first of Purcell's Operas for the professional stage, is edited in Vocal Score format by Margaret Laurie. The first performance of this work was produced by Betterton, with great success, at the Dorset Garden Theatre in June 1690. The text was an adaption, almost certainly by Betterton himself, of Flethcer and Massinger's play, 'The Prophetess'.
