Programme Note
BRIEF PROGRAMME NOTE
Based on the Ingoldsby Legends of sixteenth-century England, this work is a satire on conventional operatic performances. It begins on a tragic note, but as the action proceeds it is repeatedly interrupted and develops into what the composer has described as an ‘operatic frolic’. The baritone role of the Prompter is central.
