By Joseph D. Redding and Victor & REDDING HERBERT

Book Overview

""Natoma: An Opera, In Three Acts"" is a musical composition by Joseph D. Redding, first published in 1911. The opera tells the story of a young Native American woman named Natoma, who falls in love with a Spanish soldier named Alvarado. Their love is complicated by the cultural differences between their communities, as well as the political tensions of the time. The opera features a full score, including vocal parts and orchestration, and is intended for performance on stage. It is a classic example of early 20th-century American opera, blending elements of European classical music with American folk traditions. The work has been performed by numerous opera companies and remains an important piece of American musical history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
