Haydn's delightful puppet opera Philemon und Baucis, based on a mythical tale from Ovid, was written for a visit to Esterháza by the Empress Maria Theresa in 1773. The present version, created for Christopher Leith's Little Angel Theatre production at the 2003 Haydn Festival in Eisenstadt, is now available in this new practical performing edition and will attract both amateur and professional opera groups alike.
