APGRD Notes
Zinar states that this work was "rehearsed and received with great applause at the Opera, but at the last moment the authorities refused to permit it to be performed" (p.86). The music was composed for a literal translation of Sophocles' Electra in the 1790s; the date of proposed performance is assumed to be in the same decade.
