"I saw in an American newspaper yeterday, that an opera,
still unfinished, had been written on the story of 'The Scarlet
Letter,' and that several scenes of it had been performed
successfully in New York. I should think it might possibly
succeed as an opera, though it would certainly fail as a play."
--from The English Note-Books, Sept. 17, 1855
- Mark Governor's musical, which follows the original plot but has
lyrics appropriate for today's listeners, has a new
