Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Faust is a grand opera in five acts by Charles Gounod to a French libretto by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré from Carré's play Faust et Marguerite, in turn loosely based on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust, Part 1. It debuted at the Théâtre Lyrique (Théâtre-Historique, Opèra-National, Boulevard du Temple) in Paris on March 19, 1859. Faust was declined at the National Opera House, on the grounds that it was not sufficiently "showy", and its appearance at the Théatre-Lyrique had been delayed for a year because Dennery's drama Faust was currently playing at the Porte St. Martin. The manager Leon Carvalho (who cast his wife Marie Miolan-Carvalho as Marguerite) insisted on various changes during production, including cutting several numbers. Faust was not initially well-received. The publisher Antoine Choudens, who purchased the copyright for 10,000 francs, took the work (with added recitatives replacing the original spoken dialogue) on tour through Germany, Belgium, Italy and England, with Marie Miolan-Carvalho repeating her role. It was revived in Paris in 1862, now a hit. A ballet had to be inserted before the work would be played at the Opéra in 1869: it became the most frequently performed opera at that house and a staple of the international repertory, which it remained for decades, after being translated into at least 25 languages. Its popularity and critical reputation have declined somewhat since around 1950. A full production, with its large chorus and elaborate sets and costumes, is an expensive undertaking today, particularly if the Act V ballet is included. However, it appears as number eighteen on Opera America's list of the 20 most-performed operas in North America. It was Faust with which the Metropolitan Opera in New York City opened for the first time on October 22, 1883. It is the 8th most frequently performed opera there, with over 730 performances up until 2008. It was not until the period between 1965 and 1977 that the full version was performed ( ... Read more

Excerpt: Pierre Henri Marie Schaeffer (pronounced (help·info) in English; August 14, 1910 August 19, 1995) was a French composer, writer, broadcaster, engineer, musicologist and acoustician of the 20th century. His innovative work and in both the sciences particularly communications and acoustics and the various arts of music, literature and radio presentation after the end of World War II, as well as his anti-nuclear activism and cultural criticism garnered him a wide array of appraisal in his lifetime. Of the vast assortment of works and endeavors undertaken by him, Schaeffer is most widely and currently recognized for his accomplishments in electronic and experimental music, the epitome of which was his role as the chief developer of a unique and early form of avant-garde music known as musique concrète. The genre emerged out of Europe from the utilization of new music technology developed in the post-Nazi Germany era, following the advance of electroacoustic and acousmatic music. Schaeffer's writings (which include written and radio-narrated essays, biographies, short novels, a number of musical treatises and several plays) are often oriented towards his development of the genre, as well as the theoretics and philosophy of music in general. Today, Schaeffer is considered one of the most influential experime...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=55104 ... Read more

Extrait : Faust est un opéra en cinq actes de Charles Gounod, livret de Jules Barbier et Michel Carré, basé sur la légende du même nom et la pièce de Goethe, créé au Théâtre Lyrique le 19 mars 1859. L'œuvre de Goethe exerça très tôt une véritable fascination sur Gounod : « J'avais lu "Faust" en 1838, » écrit-il dans son Autobiographie, « à l'âge de vingt ans, et lorsqu'en 1839 je partis pour Rome comme grand prix de composition musicale, et pensionnaire de l'Académie de France, j'avais emporté le Faust de Goethe qui ne me quittait pas ». Il affirme que les premières inspirations musicales lui vinrent lors de promenades nocturnes à Capri et dans les environs de Naples. Dès 1842, un journal affirme que le jeune compositeur travaille sur un opéra tiré de Faust. Néanmoins, le projet ne dut prendre véritablement corps qu'à partir de 1845, lorsque Gounod rencontra fortuitement le librettiste Jules Barbier et sous l'influence de Léon Carvalho, directeur du Théâtre Lyrique. C'est Jules Barbier qui est le véritable auteur du livret. La contribution de Michel Carré, auteur d'une pièce intitulée Faust et Marguerite jouée au théâtre du Gymnase, se limita à l'air du Roi de Thulé et à la ronde du veau d'or. L'ouvrage subit toutefois de nombreux remaniements dans le cours des répétitions, qui furent émaillées de diverses péripéties. La partition initiale était beaucoup plus volumineuse et Gounod dut accepter de supprimer plusieurs passages, notamment la remarquable scène du Harz, qui allongeait excessivement l'opéra, le duo entre Marguerite et Valentin au début de l'acte II dans lequ...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Excerpt: Mireille is an opera in five acts by Charles Gounod to a French libretto by Michel Carré after Frédéric Mistral's poem Mireio. Mistral had become well-known in Paris with the publication of the French prose translation of Mireio in 1859, and Gounod knew the work by 1861. Gounod was charmed by the originality of the work, the story being much less contrived than many of those on the operatic stage at the time. The action of the opera is quite faithful to Mistral although the sequence of events of the Val dEnfer (Act 3 Scene 1) and Mireille's avowal of her love of Vincent to her father (Act 2 finale) are reversed in the opera.During the course of composition Gounod spent much time in Provence (12 March to the end of May 1863), visiting the sites of the action in the poem/opera, and met Mistral on several occasions at his home in Maillane . Gounod stayed at the Hôtel de la Ville Vert in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, and was treated to a banquet by the townspeople on May 26. Presenting class differences in a rural setting was not usual at the time, and as Huebner comments "some early reviewers had difficulty accepting that a 'mere' country girl could sing a heroic aria such as "En marche". It has been argued that "what matters in this extended lyric poem is not the story but the rich tapestry or Provençal traditions, beliefs and customs". The run-through of the work at Gounod's house included Georges Bizet on the piano and Camille Saint-Saëns on the harmonium. Gounod...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=5722149 ... Read more
