Midas (burletta)

Midas is a burletta, or 'mock opera', by Kane O'Hara.

Originally performed privately in 1760 near Lurgan, Ireland, it was revised and expanded with the encouragement of Lord Mornington, and was presented in its new form in Dublin in 1762 and at Covent Garden Theatre, London in 1764 (where it was performed over 200 times in the next 35 years). It was staged at the Theatres Royal around 1784. Le jugement de Midas is an opera by André Grétry based on O'Hara's work.

gollark: This is really awful. I've managed to recover *some* of the new region files (from the corrupted forge-side backup), I think all the nether/end, and the level.dat, but no playerdata. Kind of annoyed at myself for misconfiguring the backup thing... anyway, if anyone has suggestions for getting more data out, or wants their own copy of stuff, you can ask, but I'm going to shut it down.

gollark: It autorestarts, that wouldn't help.

gollark: I'm going to try and run a file recovery thing on the disk now, then try and fix the zip, and if neither works guess it's an older version or ***DOOM***.

gollark: Yep! Stuff does change, via chunkloading.

gollark: I'm pretty annoyed at myself for somehow constantly managing to mess it up.
