This is the first integral edition of the earliest known American opera. Barton's ballad opera is a vivacious satirical comedy set in pre-Revolutionary Philadelphia. An overture and musical accompaniments scored for chamber orchestra together with the complete original text of the play and a detailed background essay provide a comprehensive picture of this landmark in American cultural history.
Musical accompaniments and an original overture by Samuel Adler.
