Details

When news of the violent death of Captain James Cook finally reached England in January 1780 it created a sensation. Cook’s earlier voyages of discovery had stimulated a huge interest in the exotic world of the Pacific, and Mai, the young Ra’iatean who arrived in London in 1774 with Tobias Furneaux, became one of the most celebrated figures in London during the two years he spent there. At Christmas 1785, several years after Mai’s return to the Society islands and Cook’s death in Hawaii, Covent Garden staged a new pantomime entertainment entitled Omai, or, A Trip Round the World. By celebrating Mai in mimed action and song, this work fed the public fascination with the primitive past – its rituals, artifacts and crafts – while managing to portray the death of Cook with a theatrical sense of symbolism. William Shield’s score was remarkable for including Polynesian instruments which had been brought back to England by Lieutenant James Burney, one of Furneaux’s officers and the son of the distinguished music historian Dr Charles Burney. Although the original orchestral parts have not survived, Robert Hoskins and David Vine have cleverly reconstructed the core of the work from the vocal score along with the closing apotheosis of Captain Cook. The edition is prefaced by a fascinating introduction to the work by Robert Hoskins, the leading authority on William Shield.

Good Quality overall. Pants need work.
Size: 4X-Large, Color: Black
I'm 6'0. 305 lbs and have a beer belly. The 4xl jacket fit like a glove. The vest on the other hand is hard to button and I can't use it. The pants, as expected are a few inches too long and a bit baggy from the knee to the butt and I will have to have them altered. I will say the pants cannot be pulled up too far as the crotch area is very shallow. I wish there were just a bit more room there to pull the pants over my belly. The overall quality is 3.8 out of 5.

Expectations Exceeded by Far

Never thought I could get a suit that fit like it was tailored right out of the box. The measurements provided were spot on. Not only was I impressed with the fit, but the quality as well. I would buy this suit several times over. I'm absolutely pleased with my purchase.
