Q: After a recitative in this opera, a solo chromatically descending line starting on G in the bass establishes G minor as the key for one aria. The "Triumphing Dance" ends the first act, which is followed by a "Prelude for the Witches" to begin the second act that takes place in a cave where an elf is told to disguise himself as (*) Mercury; that disguised character convinces a man to leave with a group of sailors, which inspires a woman to kill herself. The aria "Ah! Belinda" appears in this opera, as does another with the lyrics, "remember me, but ah! forget my fate." This opera includes a famous example of ground bass and has a libretto by Nahum Tate. For 10 points, name this opera that includes "When I am laid in earth," the first title character's "Lament," which was written by Henry Purcell.
