The Welsh Opera (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162712154)

The Welsh Opera is a satirical play written by the English author Henry Fielding. The play is set in Wales and follows the story of a group of characters who are preparing to put on an opera. The play is filled with witty dialogue, humorous situations, and clever social commentary. The characters include a pompous composer, a vain singer, a greedy impresario, and a foolish landowner. The play pokes fun at the pretensions and follies of the opera world, as well as the class divisions and cultural differences between England and Wales. The Welsh Opera is a lively and entertaining work that showcases Fielding's talent for satire and his keen eye for human nature.Sweet. I take Love to be rather like a Mess of Pease-Porridge, where tho' there are some bad Pease, there are more good ones; but then it is unlike a Mess of Pease-Porridge, because there is this Difference between a Man and a Pea, you may know a Pea by its Outside, you can't a Man.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
