El Capitan

El Capitan is a comic opera in three acts written by the renowned American composer and bandleader John Philip Sousa. First performed in 1896, the opera tells the story of a Spanish nobleman named Don Medigua, who disguises himself as a bandit named El Capitan in order to win the heart of the beautiful gypsy girl, Casilda. Along the way, he must navigate a series of comedic misunderstandings and mistaken identities, as well as contend with the villainous Captain Ramon, who is determined to capture El Capitan and bring him to justice. Featuring lively music and witty lyrics, El Capitan is a classic example of the operetta genre, and remains a popular work in the repertoire of many opera companies and musical theater groups.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
