Edited by H Diack JohnstoneLike its predecessor Florimel Phoebe (1743) the second of Maurice Greene’s two operas sets a libretto by John Hoadly. Probably written for performance at the Apollo Society founded by Greene himself in 1733 this three-act opera for four soloists and chorus is a beautiful example of the English pastoral-masque genre both musically and dramatically in the tradition of Handel’s Acis and Galatea.Performing material is available for rental.First published in 2004. Hardback.
