Midas (burletta)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Midas is a burletta, or 'mock opera', by Kane O'Hara.
Originally performed privately in 1760 near Lurgan, it was revised and expanded with the encouragement of Lord Mornington, in which form it was presented in Dublin in 1762 and at Covent Garden Theatre, London in 1764 (where it was performed over 200 times in the next 35 years). It was staged at the Theatres Royal around 1784.
