8vo, 32 pp. Libretto for an opera freely adapted from Gustave Flaubert's novel 'Salammbo'. Printed in 200 numbered copies. Opera is a complex and ever-fascinating art combining visual drama with song and music. The basis of all operas is the libretto which provides the composer both with dramatic action and human characters who respond emotionally to the events of the action. 'Salammbo' is an opera with a powerful plot, a focused narrative drive, clearly outlined characters and Oriental scenery full of splendour and pageantry. The action is staged in ancient Carthage 240 BC where the drama of love and sacrifice, rebellion and war culminates in the hair-raising thrill of a magnificent ending. 'Salammbo' may be set to music either by a composer of musicals or by a composer of operas.
