2.5: Henry Purcell
Here is a link to a Naxos article on Henry Purcell , a famous, though tragically short-lived, English composer. His operatic compositions were few, but represent the development of a mid-Baroque English operatic tradition that was later supplanted when Italian opera was imported to the English stage, most notably by Handel.
