L'abandon d'Ariane L'abandon d'Ariane L'abandon d'Ariane Op. 98 ("The Abandonment of Ariane" or, in German, "Die Verlassene Ariadne") is an opera in one act by Darius Milhaud to a French libretto by Henri Hoppenot, based on Greek mythology. It is the second of three "Opéras-Minutes" (Mini-Operas) that Milhaud composed. It came between "L'Enlèvement d'Europe" Op. 94 and "La Délivrance de Thésée" Op. 99, with librettos also by Henri Hoppenot (1891–1977), a French diplomat. The three operas together last about twenty-seven minutes. The first performance of the trilogy - "L'Enlèvement d'Europe", "L'Abandon d'Ariane" and "La Délivrance de Thésée" - was at the Hessisches
HMS Theseus (R64) Korea, this time on the west coast. An aircraft from "Theseus" was ditched due to engine failure, the pilot spending 55 minutes in a rough sea until being rescued. Two days later, operations from "Theseus" ended. "Theseus" toured the harbour of Sasebo, before passing through the boom. The crews of the carriers "Unicorn" and "Glory", the latter her replacement and sister ship, manned the sides cheering "Theseus" as she departed, the crew of "Theseus" doing the same. During the Korean War, six Commonwealth carriers operated throughout the conflict, five from the Royal Navy and one from the Royal Australian Navy.
