Are Lucia di Lammermoor and Médée both tragic operas?
Médée (Cherubini) Médée is a French language opéra-comique by Luigi Cherubini.
French frigate Médée (1741) The Médée was a French "frégate du deuxième ordre", or 26-gun frigate, built in 1740. She is widely considered to be the inspiration for a long line of similar sailing frigates, and was the first ship captured by the British Navy in the War of the Austrian Succession. She became a privateer and was wrecked at St Ives, Cornwall, following a succession of gales in November 1745.
