Talk:Don John of Austria (opera)

Acts / Roles / Ballad opera
1. How many acts does this opera have? The Sydney program notes say two, but the State Library of NSW says three. Could the change have been introduced by Mackerras' reworking of the score?

2. Based on the program notes of the Sydney performance, I propose to re-write the Roles section like this:

Roles


 * Don John of Austria, illegitimate son of Charles V (tenor)
 * Donna Agnes, secretly a Jew, also known as Miriam, John's beloved (soprano)
 * Philip II of Spain, King, legitimate son of Charles/Carlos, disguised as the Count de Santa Fiore, also in love with Agnes (baritone)
 * Don Quexada, former Prime Minister (bass-baritone)
 * Dorothy, Agnes' servant (mezzo-soprano)
 * Chorus
 * Speaking roles
 * Brother Carlos, formerly Charles V of Spain
 * Don Ruy de Gomes, Philip's Prime Minister
 * Domingo, Don Quexada's servant
 * Antonio, Brother Carlos' servant
 * Jerome, Don Quexada's servant
 * Don Ferdinand de Valdes, Grand Inquisitor
 * Lords in Waiting, Officers, Alguazils, Monks and Attendants

3. I'd also like to categorise the work as a Ballad opera.

Any objections? Michael Bednarek 09:41, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
