Henry VIII (opera) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Henry VIII (opera)
''Henry VIII'' is an opera in four acts by Camille Saint-Saëns, from a libretto by Léonce Détroyat and Armand Silvestre, based on ''El cisma en Inglaterra'' ''(The schism in England)'' by Pedro Calderón de la Barca. ==Composition history== The action covers the period in Henry VIII's life when the king was discarding Queen Catherine of Aragon in favour of Anne Boleyn, a move rejected by the Church. In an effort to evoke the historical context, Saint-Saëns researched English music from the period and incorporated several English, Scottish, and Irish folk melodies into his score, as well as an air by William Byrd, contained in the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book.
