I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls – a lovely arrangement of the popular aria by Michael Balfe from his operatta 'The Bohemian Girl'The Bohemian Girl is an Irish Romantic opera composed by Michael William Balfe with a libretto by Alfred Bunn. The plot is loosely based on a Miguel de Cervantes' tale, La gitanilla. The best-known aria from the piece is I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls in which the main character, Arline, describes her vague memories of her childhood of a nobler upbringing having been kidknapped by Gypsy's as a very young girl. The best-known version of the operatta is undoubtedly the 1936 full-length Laurel and Hardy film, described in the opening credits as A Comedy Version of The Bohemian Girl. The characters played by Laurel and Hardy do not appear in the stage opera.This piece is a single sheet extract from Tom's piano book Pianistic 1 which you can purchase in full via this website.
