LAKME:

Look Mallika! Lianes are in bloom

Casting downward their shadows

Over the sacred stream that flows calm and somber

Awakened by the sound of the song-happy birds!

MALLIKA:

Oh dear mistress!

It's time at last I see you smiling

The time has come and I am reading

What was closed up in the heart of Lakme!

Dome pais... etc....

LAKME:

I, don't know what overcame me

To fill my heart full of fear

When my father goes down alone to the doomed city

I tremble, I tremble, my dear

MALLIKA:

Ganesha will watch over his protege

Up til the pond where the merry do play

With wings of snow swans are swimming

Come let us pick the lotus blue

LAKME:

Oh yes, let's go where white swans are swimming

And let us pick the lotus blue

Dome pais..... etc.

This was the first opera by Scott Joplin. It is about the 1901 White House dinner hosted by President Theodore Roosevelt for the civil rights leader and educator Booker Washington. Roosevelt receiving an uncommon level of criticism from his political opponents for entertaining the African-American leader. The score is lost. History tells us that the score was sized in lieu of non-payment of his bills.

During 1637 the Teatro San Cassiano, the first public opera house, opened in Venice. Before then opera was virtually the exclusive domain of the rich. Basically, you either had to be rich enough to put an opera on or to be in the small circle of people who would be invited to the performance. With the opening of the public opera house, opera was virtually accessible to every one, or at least the vast majority. A knock-on effect was that wider and bigger audiences and more performances meant the need for more operas and that encouraged composition. It also helped free the composers from the 'shackles' of patronage. Basically, before they had to compose what the rich patron wanted, now the aim was to fill opera houses.
