GORING THOMAS was one of the English composers who was meant to carry on the series of English Operas which began with Sullivan's Ivanhoe, But, like the others who had been approached by D'Oyly Carte , he had no new work ready. Earlier in his career, he had composed at least one Opera to order, Esmcralda having been commissioned by the Carl Rosa Opera Company and successfully produced by them at Drury Lane in 1883. In its way it is one of the classics of English music, and has had the distinction, rare with English Operas, of being given in Germany and France as well. Except for this one fine air from it, it is now all but forgotten.
