'Ginevra of Sicily. Grand serious opera composed [as Ariodante] in 1734 by George Frideric Handel. The libretto written & the music arranged & adapted for dramatic representation [pencil addition: on the English stage] by M. Rophino Lacy. This edition of Handel's opera of Ginevra of Sicily never before published, being the only one extant in its present form of arrangement is copyright'. Vocal score with English words and piano accompaniment, in Lacy's hand. The adaptation, though mainly from Ariodante, also includes music from other works of Handel, supplemented by new material presumably composed by Lacy. It probably dates from the 1830s or 1840s and was apparently never orchestrated or produced.
