Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Inkle and Yarico: An opera, in three acts" by George Colman is a comic opera first staged in 1787. When English trader Inkle is shipwrecked in the West Indies, an Indian maiden named Yarico saves his life and they fall in love. But upon returning to civilization, Inkle faces a choice between love and ambition that threatens their bond. Based on a supposedly true story from 1657, this popular eighteenth-century opera explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and social ambition across cultural divides.
