Having completed her exercise programme, HMS Olympus (Lt.Cdr. H.G. Dymott, RN), returned to Malta. ( 16) The light cruiser HMS Kenya (Capt. M.M. Denny, CB, RN, flying the flag of Rear-Admiral H.M. Burrough, CB, RN) joined the convoy around 0900Z/23.

Olimpie is divided between her love for Cassandre and her duty to her mother. The troops of Cassandre and Antigone clash and Antigone is mortally wounded. Before dying he confesses he was responsible for the death of Alexander, not Cassandre. Cassandre and Olimpie are now free to marry. To the north of the sanctuary can be found the Prytaneion and the Philippeion, as well as the array of treasuries representing the various city-states. The Metroon lies to the south of these treasuries, with the Echo Stoa to the east. The hippodrome and later stadium were located east of the Echo Stoa. To the south of the sanctuary is the South Stoa and the bouleuterion, whereas the palaestra, the workshop of Pheidias, the gymnasion, and the Leonidaion lie to the west. It is a pity then that comparisons between the two sets of Olimpie now in the catalogues should be so much a matter of swings and roundabouts. Given a choice between them – and I would presume that few collectors would wish to duplicate such an obscure work on their shelves – I would recommend the new Bru Zane set for its more involved casting and its luxurious and informative presentation with complete texts, translations and essays in French and English, while at the same time lamenting the (presumably permanent) loss of the original 1819 version. What might have been even more interesting would have been a new scholarly and uncut recording of Fernand Cortez– but presumably that too might emerge in due course. In the meantime let us be properly grateful for this example of the art of a composer whose greatest works attracted the admiration of Berlioz and Wagner. We can hear why.

Now we have the same composer’s Olimpie, a work first performed in Paris in 1819 but heard here in an extensively revised version that Spontini made for performances in Berlin (in a German translation by E. T. A. Hoffmann, renowned author of the tales on which Offenbach would base his last opera). The Berlin version was then refitted in French—and further revised—for a Paris production in 1826.
