Inkle and Yarico: An opera, in three acts by George Colman
"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.

Based on a supposedly true story from 1657, this popular eighteenth-century opera explores
themes of loyalty, betrayal, and social ambition across cultural divides. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
