Orestes: A Dramatic Opera is a play written by Lewis Theobald in 1731. It is a retelling of the Greek myth of Orestes, the son of Agamemnon, who seeks revenge against his mother Clytemnestra for killing his father. The play is set in ancient Greece and features a cast of characters that includes Orestes, his sister Electra, their mother Clytemnestra, and her lover Aegisthus. The story is told through a series of musical numbers, with lyrics written by Theobald and music composed by an unknown musician. The play explores themes of revenge, justice, and the consequences of one's actions. It was well-received by audiences during its time and is considered a notable example of early English opera.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
