The Island God
''The Island God'' is a one-act opera by Gian Carlo Menotti with a libretto by the composer. It was first performed on February 20, 1942, at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City.
Although the opera’s only performances were in English, Menotti wrote the libretto in Italian (as ''Ilo e Zeus'').〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Metropolitan Opera Archives )〕
==Performance history==
''The Island God'' received four performances at the Metropolitan Opera, appearing on double bills with ''Pagliacci'' and ''La bohème''. Although the cast included Leonard Warren as Ilo and Astrid Varnay as Telea, the opera was not a success. Reviewing the opera in ''Musical America'', Oscar Thompson called it “more effective as a literary conception than something of opera.”〔 Menotti was dissatisfied with the opera's staging and began demanding greater input on productions of his works.
''The Island God'' has not been performed since its premiere; Menotti reportedly destroyed all copies of the score.〔 In a 1996 interview, Menotti dismissed the opera as “a big bore.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】title="Maestro's milestone" )〕 When asked about a revival, he replied, “I’ll never give you that torment.”〔
