Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

First produced at the Ope ra, Paris, A pril 28, 1865, with a cast including Sasse, Batteo, Naudin and Faure. First London performance in I talian, under the French title, at Covent Garden, July 22, 1865 ;and in English at the Royal English Opera, Covent Garden, October 21, 1865. First American production December 1, 1865. Mmes. Hauk, Moran-O lden, Bettaque, Breval, Nordica and Litvinne are some of the famous prima donne who have appeared as Selila in A merica. Vasco di Gama has been sung by Campanini, Giannini, Perotti, Grienauer, Dippel, de Reszke and Tamagno; and Nelusko by Faure, Scotti, Stracciari and Campanari. Produced at the New Orleans Opera December 18, 1869. Important New York revivals occurred in 1901 with Breval, de Reszke, A dams, Plancon and Journet; and in 1906 with Caruso (his first appearance in the role), Fremstad, Plancon and Journet. Strangely enough, Scribe gave Meyerbeer the libretto in 1838, and part of the music was written then, but the two could not agree as to alterations, and it was not until 1852 that Scribe furnished a revised book. The work was not completed until 1860, nor produced until 1865, two years after Meyerbeer sdeath.
