''Thel'' or ''The Lamentations of Thel'' ((ロシア語:''Тэль'' or ''Жалобы Тэли'' – ''Zhaloby Teli'')) is a chamber opera in four scenes with Prologue by a Russian composer Dmitri N. Smirnov to his own libretto after William Blake. It was composed in 1985-1986, and is in English (also translated into Russian). ==Subject and creation history==
The opera was composed during 1985-1986 in Moscow and Ruza. It is a sequel to another Blake opera ''Tiriel'' (1985). Libretto was based on the very early poem by Blake ''The Book of Thel'' (1789), in which he presented part of his immense mythology. Thel, so-called from the Greek word meaning "desire" or "will", is young girl complaining on her future death. There are points of dialogue between two works. And they are interconnected through the common idea of search for a meaning to life, through the place where the action is set, the Valleys of Har – a creation of Blake’s imagination – and also through the similarity of the music material. In the first instance, however, we are dealing with a dramatic tragedy, an illustration of the forces of evil, which brings death and destruction to the world, whereas in the second we have an intimate and lyrical parable-pastoral.
