Produktbeschreibung
A sparkling doorway into a vanished theatre world, The Castle Of Andalusia invites you to savour a comic opera that still sings with mischief and heart. A lively, letter-perfect blend of music, wit and social satire, it glides through masquerade and disguise with lovers mistaken identities at its frolicsome core. This edition renders John O'Keeffe's late eighteenth century treasure as a modern delight: a stage play farce and music theatre piece that resonates with contemporary readers while paying reverent homage to its English comic opera classics roots. Set in an Andalusian ambience, the plot teases social pretensions and class influx with warmth, humour and humane insight, making it ideal for classroom study alongside illustrated theatre editions. Its brisk tempo and sparkling dialogue invite both casual readers and serious collectors to revisit a timeless drama of love, identity and performance. The work's literary and historical significance is clear: it captures the era's theatrical charm, musical sensibilities and public appetite for witty satire. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it stands as a bridge between eighteenth century theatre and today's stage-centric appreciations. Restored for today's and future generations, this is more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Embrace a piece of theatrical heritage that continues to charm, educate and inspire.
