The Fair Maid of the West
T01309030085
Catherine is a beautiful flirt, courted by both the Duke of Rothsay and the local blacksmith. In competing for her love, they experience rivalry, anger, betrayal and fatal concealment, but who will gain the approval of the Fair Maid of Perth?
The Fair Maid of Perth was Bizet s only opera to receive widespread acclaim when first performed. The sound would in general, and the gypsy character of Mab in particular, foreshadow the success of Carmen, vividly embracing the passionate emotion and torments inflicted by love and jealousy.
