Abstract

Composed in 1995, The Doctor of Myddfai, Peter Maxwell Davies’s third full-scale opera and his first collaboration with David Pountney, is a work that occupies an important position within the composer’s output for the opera house and theatre. Demonstrating archival research in practice, this paper focuses on several key primary source materials associated with the opera and the extent to which these can help unveil the creative process and, by extension, enhance our understanding of the work. The paper is in two parts. The first focuses on written and spoken texts (including Davies’s own unpublished private journals), and the second discusses the sketch materials available for the work.
