This
new Opera was first
performed in 1998 in
Huddersfield by Opera
North. Designed for the
modern stage, it utilises
only a small cast and
orchestra - albeit one
with a good variety of
percussion! The libretto
is adapted by the
composer from the play
'The Love of Don
Pemperlin for Belisa in
the Garden' by Feredico
Garcia Lorca, translated
into English by David
Johnston. The plot
revolves around the
ill-fated marriage of Don
Pemperlin, an ageing
bachelor and his
beautiful neighbour
Belisa, which was
suggested by Pemperlin's
maid. Tricks and
misunderstandings abound
and because of them,
Pemperlin ends by
stabbing himself and
dying even as Belisa
proclaims her love for
him.

The
fifteenth full Opera from
the prolific Hans Werner
Henze, and the first to
feature a self-penned
libretto. After the poems
he wrote for his Songs
from the Arabian, Henze
has produced this unusal
tale through adapting
both Arab and Persian
legends and invoking the
same half-real,
half-imaginary Arabia as
the song cycle. The story
itself is a fairy tale
comedy with much in
common with The Magic
Flute. The orchestral
arrangement is huge,
featuring quadruple wind,
five percussionists and a
part for tape.
