Context paragraphs:
Akhnaten (opera): Akhnaten is an opera in three acts based on the life and religious convictions of the pharaoh Akhenaten (Amenhotep IV), written by the American minimalist composer Philip Glass in 1983.  "Akhnaten" had its world premiere on March 24, 1984, at the Stuttgart State Theatre, under the German title "Echnaton".  Paul Esswood sang the title role, German director Achim Freyer staged the opera in an abstract style with highly ritualistic movements.  The American premiere was held on October 12, 1984, at the Houston Grand Opera, where Glass's opera "The Making of the Representative for Planet 8" also premiered.

The Singing Lesson: The Singing Lesson is a chamber opera in three acts with music and libretto by Matthew Davidson.  Based on three short stories ("The Garden Party", "The Singing Lesson", and "The Doll’s House") by New Zealand author Katherine Mansfield, the opera is very unusual in several respects.  For instance, the three acts are not connected by a conventional plot, but instead by literary themes.  Those themes are class conflict (Acts 1 and 3) and a marriage of convenience (Act 2).  However, the overall literary theme for all three acts is delusion.

Roque Centurión Miranda: Roque Centurión Miranda (August 15, 1900 in Carapeguá-January 31, 1960 in Asunción) was a Paraguayan playwright, theater director and stage, radio and film actor.  Enriched by a creative and enthusiastic group of young actors and playwrights including Luis Ruffinelli, Miguel Pecci Saavedra, Francisco Martín Barrios, Facundo Recalde, Benigno Villa and Arturo Alsina, Centurión Miranda is remembered as one of the true creators of the Paraguayan theatre.  He began working as an actor.  In 1926 he wrote his first play, "Cupido sudando", a comedy in three acts, earning him critical acclaim after it was performed.  Later, in 1932, in collaboration with Josefina Pla he wrote "Episodios chaqueños".  His 1933 Guaraní language drama "Tuyú" in three acts which dealt with young Chaco blood spilled by Paraguayan soldiers was a major success and is considered by critics to be the cornerstone of the Guaraní theatre.

Lalla Miranda: Lalla Miranda (1874-1944) was an Australian coloratura soprano who was primarily active in Belgium, France, and Great Britain.  Born in Melbourne, she was the daughter of opera singers David Miranda and Annetta Hirst and the older sister of opera singer Beatrice Miranda.  After studies in London and Paris, she made her professional opera debut in The Hague in 1898.  She then appeared in numerous operas in Amsterdam in successive years.  In 1899 she was a resident artist at La Monnaie.  She made several appearances at the Palais Garnier in Paris and at theatres in the French Provences during the first two decades of the 20th century.  In 1900-1901 and from 1907-1911 she was committed the Royal Opera House on London.  In 1910 she was committed to both the Manhattan Opera Company and the Philadelphia Opera Company.  She notably opened the 1910 season at the Manhattan Opera House in the title role of Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor", a role for which she was famous.  In New York and Philadelphia she also sang Gilda in "Rigoletto", Olympia in "The Tales of Hoffmann", and the title role in "Lakmé".  After 1918 she was primarily active with the Carl Rosa Opera Company.  She retired in the early 1920s.  She made only a few recordings on the Pathé Records label.

Gloria (opera): Gloria is a tragic opera in three acts by Francesco Cilea with an Italian libretto by Arturo Colautti.  A variation on the Romeo and Juliet story and set in 14th century Siena, the libretto is based on Victorien Sardou's 1874 play "La Haine" ("Hatred").  The opera premiered on 15 April 1907 at La Scala conducted by Arturo Toscanini with Salomea Krusceniski in the title role.  "Gloria" was a failure at its premiere when it was withdrawn after two performances and fared little better in the 1932 revised version, although there have been two late 20th century revivals.  It proved to be Cilea's last staged opera.  In the 43 years following the premiere of "Gloria" he worked on two or three further operas which were never performed and continued to compose chamber and orchestral music.

Macbeth (Bloch): Macbeth is an opera in three acts, with music by Ernest Bloch to a libretto by Edmond Fleg, after the eponymous play of William Shakespeare.  Bloch composed the opera between 1904 and 1906, but it did not receive its first performance until 30 November 1910 by the Opéra-Comique in Paris with Henri Albers in the title role and conducted by François Ruhlmann.  Alex Cohen has written of quarrels within the cast that contributed to the opera's poorly received premiere.

Lakmé: Lakmé is an opera in three acts by Léo Delibes to a French libretto by Edmond Gondinet and Philippe Gille.

Titon et l'Aurore: Titon et l'Aurore (English: "Tithonus and Aurora") is an opera in three acts and a prologue by the French composer Jean-Joseph de Mondonville which was first performed at the Académie royale de musique, Paris on 9 January 1753.  The authorship of the libretto has been subject to debate; Mondonville's contemporaries ascribed the prologue to Antoine Houdar de la Motte and the three acts of the opera to the Abbé de La Marre.  "Titon et l'Aurore" belongs to the genre known as the "pastorale héroïque".  The work played an important role in the so-called Querelle des Bouffons, a dispute over the relative merits of the French and Italian operatic traditions which dominated the intellectual life of Paris in the early 1750s.  The tremendous success of Mondonville's opera at its premiere was an important victory for the French camp (although their Italian rivals claimed that this was because they had been excluded from their seats by members of the army).  "Titon" was one of Mondonville's most popular works and went on to enjoy several revivals during his lifetime.

Thaïs (opera): Thaïs (] ) is an opera, a "comédie lyrique" in three acts and seven tableaux, by Jules Massenet to a French libretto by Louis Gallet, based on the novel "Thaïs" by Anatole France.  It was first performed at the Opéra Garnier in Paris on 16 March 1894, starring the American soprano Sibyl Sanderson, for whom Massenet had written the title role.  The original production was directed by Alexandre Lapissida, with costumes designed by Charles Bianchini and sets by Marcel Jambon (act 1, scene 1; act 3) and Eugène Carpezat (act 1, scene 2; act 2).  The opera was later revised by the composer and was premiered at the same opera house on 13 April 1898.

Orlando paladino: Orlando paladino (English: "The Paladin Orlando"), Hob.  28/11, is an opera in three acts by Joseph Haydn which was first performed at Eszterháza on 6 December 1782.  The libretto by Nunziano Porta is based on another libretto, "Le pazzie d'Orlando", by Carlo Francesco Badini (set by the composer P.A. Guglielmi in 1771), itself inspired by Ariosto's epic poem "Orlando furioso".  The opera was described as a "dramma eroicomico" and the plot mixes heroic and comic elements.  It was Haydn's most popular opera during his lifetime.  The Pennsylvania Opera Theater presented the United States premiere of the work at the Trocadero Theater, Philadelphia in March 1982 with John Gilmore in the title role.
