La Purpura de la Rosa
Album by Tomás de Torrejón y Velasco & Ensemble Vocal La Capella & Clemencic Consort & René Clemencic
La púrpura de la rosa is an opera by Tomás de Torrejón y Velasco, premiered in 1701. The score exemplifies Spanish Baroque theatrical music, with continuo-led accompaniment, courtly dance rhythms and vocal writing characteristic of early 18th-century Iberian opera, and it is historically notable as one of the earliest operas composed and staged in the Americas.
