Légende

Scene from the new opera of "The Fairy Oak", at the Drury Lane Theatre, 1845. London stage production of 'The Fairy Oak; A Romantic Opera, in two acts, by H. C. Coape, Esq.; the music By Henry Forbes...With every disposition to welcome the advent of a fresh talent in the musical market, we are constrained, after listening twice to "The Fairy Oak," to agree with the general verdict of condemnation pronounced by our contemporaries - but with this qualification, that if the libretto had not been so flat and feeble, the success of Mr. Forbes would have been less equivocal...on the second performance, last Monday, the audience was numerous, although less in numbers, and bestowed quite as much applause, minus the hissing of the opening evening'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
