 Classical Net - Britten - Gloriana
Gloriana was Benjamin Britten's eighth opera, and his first real failure.
Gloriana, composed in celebration of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II and first presented at Covent Garden during Coronation Week, 1953, is based on the relationship between Elizabeth I and Lord Essex, and was said to have annoyed the young queen as she watched her famous predecessor represented in amorous dalliances.
The audience expressed scorn, boredom, and disdain, the critical press was generally displeased with the work, and Britten grew despondent and depressed over its failure.

 Amazon.com: Gloriana: Books: Michael Moorcock   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Gloriana (1979) is Moorcock's homage to Mervyn Peake (author of the Gormenghast saga), and fittingly, is a lush tale of intrigue told in thoroughly British prose.
Queen Gloriana presides, with the assistance of her counselors, over an empire of remarkable peace and prosperity: a romantic Golden Age in stark contrast to the cynical, iron rule of her father.
Gloriana is supposed to be a great queen, an able statesman, and a woman of high principles, but she comes across much more Marilyn Monroe, all jiggles and weepy quivering.

 The SF Site Featured Review: Gloriana or the Unfulfilled Queen
For what will prove to be the ominous term of 13 years, unprecedented peace and prosperity characterizes Queen Gloriana's rule over the Albion empire and its various protectorates and allies, in antithesis to the madness and bloodshed of her father, King Hern.
The power behind the throne, the architect of the elaborate myth of Gloriana that promotes and maintains this Golden Age, is her trusted Chancellor, Lord Montfallcon, who endured great personal sacrifice to survive the intrigues and purges of, and finally triumph over, Hern's corrupted court.
In Michael Moorcock's version, Gloriana is "unfulfilled" in a sexual sense that subverts the notion of a "virgin queen" in ways it was never intended.

 [No title]
Gloriana is Albion and Albion is Gloriana; if one falls, so too will the other.
And Gloriana is oppressed by the burden this places upon her - and by the fact that she remains incapable of orgasm.
The maintenance of the delicate balance that keeps Albion and Gloriana thriving depends of Montfallcon, Gloriana's Chancellor, and on his network of spies and assassins - in particular on Quire, cold hearted seducer of virtue and murderer of innocence.

 Review: Gloriana, or the Unfulfill'd Queen
On a global scale, Queen Gloriana knows she has a place in the future history books; on a personal level, she cannot achieve an orgasm as the weight of her monarchy has taken its toll.

 The Books: Gloriana; or, The Unfulfill'd Queen by Michael Moorcock   (Site not responding. Last check: )
But before he can do this, Gloriana's own courtiers must see her as a weakling; her nobles must lose their faith in her omnipotence, as must the commons.
But underneath the golden veneer is a monarch suffocating under the burden of her duty and seeking release in all manner of debauchery.
For unbeknownst to Gloriana, this age of peace is maintained by her chancellor through terror, oppression, and a network of informants-the most dangerous of whom is the sinister Captain Quire.
