Debbie, I can see how you thought it was an opera since it comes in three acts with scenes.  But actually it is an oratorio.  It could easily be converted to an opera.   May add a little recitative. 
Conversely, if you know Handel's opera, Cleopatra, you will see the same structure.  But Cleo was meant to be staged as an opera. In a reverse twist, at the University of Wisconsin in the late 1960s I sang Cleopatra with harpsichord staged as an oratorio!  The harpsichordist was Alice Ehlers.  You can google her, too.

I have that recording you found.  It has to be ordered from the UK, but well worth it if you like coloratura. The program I'm working on for October will have samples of coloratura and lyric opera arias, German lieder, and popular, Vaudeville, and Broadway songs from the late 1800s to the 1960.  There is stuff from 'way back there that many people have never heard that is well worth giving a listen to.

In case you were curious -
 
I think this is the aria Monona mentioned below:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtJpn8ZbUQ0
 
And here's a libretto from the same opera that's really gorgeous:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HDrkGCDYAQ
 
I've never heard of this opera - it's a great Old Testament tale.
 
Enjoy!
