Their greatest project, King Arthur, is a five-act 'dramatick opera,' the text of which had it's origins in a patriotic musical play Dryden had written in 1684 but which he radically overhauled. The result was a work that appealed to the audience's enthusiasm for fine costumes, lavish sets, ingenious stage machinery and a cast of singers, dancers and instrumentalists, containing vocal show-stoppers such as the imperishable 'Frost Scene' and 'Fairest isle.
