The Desert Flower

''The Desert Flower'' is an opera in three acts composed by William Vincent Wallace. The libretto was an English translation and adaptation by A. Harris and Thomas J. Williams of the libretto by Henri Saint-Georges and Adolphe de Leuven for Halévy's ''Jaguarita l'Indienne''. ''The Desert Flower'' premiered on 12 October 1863 in London at the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden in a performance by the Pyne and Harrison English Opera Company with Louisa Pyne in the title role.
==Background and performance history==
''The Desert Flower'' marked the last opera completed by Wallace, and its premiere opened the 8th and final season of Louisa Pyne and William Harrison's English Opera Company. The Prince of Wales was in the audience, and Louisa Pyne herself sang the role of Oanita, with Harrison as Captain Maurice. A contemporary review pronounced the songs "pretty" and the music "pleasing" but noted that "there are no passages which, by their brilliancy and sweetnesss, raise the work to the heights which the composer has achieved in some of his former operas."〔''The Rose, the Shamrock and the Thistle'', p. 223. See also Wyndham (1906) p. 243.〕
The opera was not a particular success with audiences either, and was withdrawn after two weeks.〔Flood (1912) pp. 28-29.〕 ''The Desert Flower'' received its US premiere at New York's Academy of Music on 12 January 1868 with Caroline Richings as Oanita and William Castle as Captain Maurice.〔Brown (1903) Vol. 2, p. 59.〕 Wallace's opera is all but forgotten now, but the overture is occasionally played in concerts. Wilhelm Kuhe〔(Wilhelm Kuhe ) (1823–1912) was a Prague born pianist, composer, and impresario.〕 composed a ''Fantasia'' for piano based on its score, and in 1867 its main arias and duets were published as parlour songs in ''The Vocal Gems of William Vincent Wallace's Romantic Opera The Desert Flower''.
