Extra Information There are probably other transpositions for clarinets, horns, and trumpets; the changes are not always clearly marked. While many sources refer to this as an opera, the subtitle is "Melodramma". However, the IMSLP tag melodrama is reserved for works like Fibich’s Hypodamia, narrated works. So an opera it remains, tag-wise.
