Aria Da Capo

A true masterpiece - beautiful, delicate and poetic

An atmosphere of naive simplicity characterizes the play and throws into relief its deft allegory - the folly of man's hatreds and jealousies and the thoughtlessness which makes them possible

At the prompting of a tragic muse, two shepherds interrupt a harlequinade, innocently kill each other, and the harlequinade continues unaffected

An intensely effective play of universal appeal
