The Indian Queen

The Indian Queen (Z. 630), is a semi-opera in five acts with music by Henry Purcell, first performed at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London in 1695. The exact date is unknown but Peter Holman surmises it may have been performed in June, without the Masque in Act 5, which had to be completed after Purcell's death in November by his brother Daniel. The libretto is a revised version of the play The Indian Queen (1664) by John Dryden and Sir Robert Howard. It was Purcell's last semi-opera.
