He then takes his own life, and when Thisbe returns and finds him dead, she also takes her own life.Chadwick's adaptation of the myth features a libretto that is written entirely in rhyme, adding a poetic and lyrical quality to the tragic story. The opera is divided into two acts and features a cast of characters including Pyramus, Thisbe, their parents, and a chorus. The music is composed in a traditional operatic style, featuring arias, duets, and ensemble pieces.Published in 1854, Pyramus and Thisbe was well-received by audiences and critics alike.
