Thirty Thousand Or Who's The Richest? is a comic opera written by Thomas Dibdin and first performed in 1805. The story revolves around the wealthy Sir Tunbelly Clumsy and his attempts to find a suitable husband for his daughter, Miss Biddy. He offers a large dowry of thirty thousand pounds to any man who can prove himself to be the richest suitor. This leads to a series of comical situations as various men try to outdo each other in displaying their wealth. Along the way, there are mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and plenty of humor. The opera is set in London and features a lively score with catchy tunes and witty lyrics. Thirty Thousand Or Who's The Richest? is a classic example of the comic opera genre and remains popular with audiences today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
