The Siege of Rhodes Made a Representation by the Art of Prospective in Scenes, and the Story Sung in Recitative Musick. at the Cock-Pit in Drury Lane by William Davenant

3.0

England's first opera, though the music is now lost. Not too bad. A few neat scenarios but I found the plot didn't really develop the ideas, more often dropping them to allow the next thing to come along. Found a pdf copy of the script at operalib.eu, a rather antiquated-looking website.
