Publisher's Synopsis
""Natoma: An Opera, In Three Acts"" is a musical play written by Joseph D. Redding in 1911. The story is set in California during the 19th century and revolves around the character of Natoma, a Native American woman who falls in love with a Spanish soldier named Alvarado. Their love is challenged by the cultural differences between their two communities and the impending threat of war. The opera features a mix of traditional European opera and Native American music, with a libretto that explores themes of love, conflict, and cultural identity. ""Natoma"" was well-received during its time and remains a notable example of early 20th-century American opera.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
